Kathmandu, Apr. 26: The eight-day Bajrayogini Festival concluded on Sunday. Locals returned the idols of Bajrayogini and other goddesses to the Bajrayogini temple that lies at the top of a hill some two kilometers away from the ancient city of Sankhu.

The idol of the goddess Bajrayogini Mai was brought to Sankhu in a palanquin accompanied by a procession of people playing traditional music for the festival on Saturday last week. 

The two big idols of goddess Bajrayogini (yellow-faced goddess) and Chibadya (the chaitya/stupa shaped idol) with two other smaller idols of Singli (lioness) and Byangli (tigress) were also transported to the town for the festival.

They were all taken back to the temple after the festival concluded on Sunday.
