Buáš ga Dyaá¸Ĩ is also known as Raktalokitesvara Karunamaya and RÄto MachhindranÄth and is revered as the giver of rain. The name Rato Machhendranath means Red Machhendranath in a reference to the color of the deity's image.[4] The chariot festival is held according to the lunar calendar, so the date is changeable.
