SIMBA-DHUMBA | Pachali Bhairav Khadga Siddhi | NAXAL CHARDHUNGE

SIMBA-DHUMBA || Shri Pachali Bhairav khadga siddhi jatra

What does the name mean?



The festival ( or Jatra) here is called Pachali Bhairav Khadga Siddhi. The words 'Pachali Bhairav' refer to an aspect or form of Shiva, the God of destruction and renewal. While in most Hindu communities this form of Shiva is not seen as significant, in the Kathmandu Valley (the area surrounding the capital of Nepal), a cult has formed around this figure. The followers of this deity are mostly Newars, an ethnic group in the valley. 



What does Khadga Siddhi mean? 



Khadga means sword while Siddhi means complete knowledge (enlightenment) or great power. So it can be loosely translated as an ‘enlightened sword’. 



And Jatra? 



Jatra just means festival in Nepali.
