Lhuti Pooni, the full moon day of the month of Chaitra (March-April) is the day of festivity or Mela at Balaju in he outskirts of Kathmandu where people bathe in 22 water spouts made artistically in a row. It is a popular belief that the waters of Debighat where the river Trisuli flows some twenty miles west of Kathmandu oozes out of the Nagarjun hills. Spouts of Balaju at its base, thus, receive water, that also on this same full moon day. A miniature replica of Budhnilkantha and a small temple of goddess Ajima (Grandma), both forming the parts of Balaju garden are also worshipped as well.
