250th celebration of the Indrajatra festival. On this day 250 years ago, King Prithvi Narayan Shah attacked Kathmandu city to unite Nepal when all the city dwellers were drunk. Ever since then the Shah king had been the guest of honor at this festival. But with the current movement of abolishing the Monarchy the head of the state ( prime minister) was invited as the guest of honor. Some people revolted against it so the ceremony did not go as usual.
