Traditional Nepali Wedding

                                                               

Nepali wedding ceremonies are unique in their own way. If you come to Nepal during the months of December or January/February (regarded as the wedding season), you might run into Nepali folks who are merrily singing and dancing in groups along the streets of Kathmandu. These hordes are called ‘Janti’ in Nepali and they are all on their way to bring the bride to her husband’s home.

Based on the particular ethnicity, tribe or tradition of individuals, the nuptials are also of various types.    Accordingly, the wedding costumes are also designed as per the needs of peculiar culture. Some marital functions are concluded in the single day whereas others may last for few more days. Receptions are held mostly after the completion of the rituals of marriage.    

So if you happen to be in a vacation in Nepal around this time, feel free to take glances at the procedures followed by a newlywed couple at various temples and other areas. Or if you have a plan to get hitched with your beloved one in this beautiful mountainous country, you are heartily invited here!

Makar Sankranti

                                                                               

Nepal is observing a public holiday today on the auspicious occasion of Makar Sankranti, also known as Maghi. It is a festival which is celebrated to mark the shift of the Sun into the zodiac constellation of Capricorn (called Makar in Nepali). It falls on the very first day of the Nepali month Magh.

It is believed that with the arrival of this fiesta, the short and chilling days of winter gradually turn into longer and warmer days, eventually giving an invitation to spring. It is also reputed as the festival of harvest in Nepal. The Sun is worshipped in the form of God on this day by the Hindu devotees. They take a bath on the sacred rivers which are nearby the places that they live in. The delicacies that are eaten are ghee, Chaakku, Teel ko laddu, tilauri and yam. So do not miss them out if you are on a holiday in Nepal on 15^th of January.

Trekking in Nepal is regarded as one of the admired ‘things-to-do before you die’.

Kheer-Nepali pudding

                                                                              

Rice is the staple food in Nepal. Whether it’s for the breakfast or for dinner, Nepalese people mostly opt for ‘daal, bhaat and tarkaari’ (rice along with lentils and curry). But everybody gets bored if they are having the same meal routinely, don’t they? Perhaps, this is the reason why folks here have ‘devised’ various cuisines as alterations and add-ons to rice. Kheer is one such dish which holds special importance in this beautiful landlocked country.

Although the origins of this cookery are unclear, Kheer has however occupied a large share of Nepali culture. It is relished in special occasions like religious functions, weddings, birthdays and many others. Kheer is prepared by gently boiling rice along with milk and some sugar. You can then add some dry fruits like cashew nuts, raisin, cloves and others as per your taste.

Nepalese Folk Songs

There might be just a fistful of guests who have been to Nepal but haven't heard about the famous 'Resham Firiri' song. Not that every tourist must have listened to it. What we mean to say is that this particular Nepalese folk song is popular for its know-how among most of them. Perhaps it is the melody that lures even the visitors who do not know or understand Nepalese language, to hum this song and dance in jubilation. And maybe this is a perfect paradigm of the saying “Music has no language”.  

Nepalese folk songs are given different names by the corresponding clans who have been practising them since long ago. To list a few among them are Dohori songs, Deuda, Newari songs, Tamang selo and so on. Rodi Ghar is a kind of institution formed by Gurungs of Nepal to perform their traditional music and dance. This shows the love that the Nepalese folks have for their peculiar culture and tradition.

So while you are in a vacation in Nepal, do not forget to ask your Nepali friend about ‘Resham Firiri’. In fact you can learn to sing it at your own accord by getting a CD or DVD that contains this song!! How cool is that??
