Juju dhau or King yogurt is a Nepalese specialty made by boiling buffalo milk in a clay pot and leaving it to ferment. It is characterized by its rich flavor and a unique, creamy texture which is thick enough not to drop off when the pot is turned upside down. Juju dhau symbolizes purity, so it is a key part of numerous religious celebrations in Bhaktapur.

Devotees sing Bhajans (songs with reli­gious themes) during the aarti, creating a blissful surrounding. The aarti starts at 6 pm every eve­ning. This is a ritual that allows everyone to take part and creates a kind of unity between the gods and their devotees.
