On the sixth day Nawaratri, the Newars of Bhaktapur throng to the Indrayani Temple at Khauma. The Indrayani Temple marks the north-west end of the pilgrimage circuit of Nawaratri. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Indrayani, also called Indrani, who is known as the consort of Indra. The temple is a fairly popular one among locals, as it is situated so close to the heart of inner Bhaktapur.
