Bhaktapur to Host Music Jatra-Khwapa Charity Concert in Sallaghari

Bhaktapur is preparing to hold "Music Jatra-Khwapa," a charity music festival scheduled for Mangsir 12 at the Sallaghari open grounds. Jointly organized by Loopix Entertainment, Dristikon Media, and The Royal Events, the event serves as the first hometown concert for Kuma Sagar and The Khwapa Band. The stage lineup also includes Mukti and Revival, Nibha Dangol, and Chhabahi Dabu, alongside indigenous Newar cultural showcases such as the Devi, Kawancha, Jangali, and Khicha dances, as well as a large Dhime performance.

Organizers revealed that half of the income earned from corporate sponsorships and stall rentals, along with all digital contributions raised during the festival, will go to Bhaktapur's Community Based Rehabilitation Organization (CBRO) to aid children with disabilities. The festival ground will feature indigenous Newar food and lifestyle stalls, and attendees can gain entrance simply by bringing an empty can of title sponsor Xtreme Energy Drink.
