Likewise, the celebration of the jatra begins in the early morning of the Aunsi by carrying Bhairav’s Khat to the mother temple i.e. Kantibhairavi. The celebration will last till Akshay Tritiya.
People believe that Sindoor Jatra was performed to bid farewell to the son Bhairav from his mother’s temple.
