Gathamaga Charhe, also known as Gathemangal is one of the famous one-day festival celebrated in the Newar community. It is celebrated each year on Shrawan Krishna Chaturdashi which lies in the month of June/July. On this day people make a demon-like dummy from straw and other things representing a devil and later burn it taking far away in order to cleanse devils from the society. It is also said that mosquito loses its one leg on this day. People nowadays also named this festival as Ghanta Karna but some people say that Ghanta Karna and Gathamaga are different.
