About Pachali Bhairab:
According to most of the chronicles, the festival is said to be started by the Thakuri King Gunakamadev (924-1008 A.D.). The god is, in the Newari imagination, very much associated with the founding of Kathmandu because King Gunakamadev is believed to have founded both the city and the festival of Bhairav.

Shree Pachali Bhairav Khadga Siddhi Jatra (Gathu Pyakhan), which is celebrated once every 12 years in different places of Kathmandu comes to end on this 12 June, 2012. It is known as "Barha Barse Pachali Bhairav Khadga Siddhi Jatra" in local Nepali language. The traditional festival of 12 years Pachali Bhairav Jatra comes to the end for this year by burning the masks of gods and goddess worn by impersonators of god during the festival.
