Ghanta Karna
Effigy of the demon
Official name Gathe Mangal Observed by Newar people Type Religious Significance Defeat of the demon Ghanta Karna Frequency Annual
Ghanta Karna (also known as Ghanta Karna Chaturdasi and Gathe Mangal ) is a Nepalese Newari festival celebrating the defeat of the mythical demon Ghanta-karna ("bell-ears") or "Gatha-Mungal" in local Newari language.[1] [2] According to the myth, the demon wore bell earrings in order to drown out the name of the god Shiva with their jingling. Attributed to him are acts of robbery, murder, and kidnapping of children. The festival takes place during the month of Shrawan (July/August).[3]
