Martyrs’ Day in Nepal

                                                                           

Nepalese people are celebrating Shahid Diwas (the Martyrs’ day) today. Nepal is observing a public holiday to mark this special occasion. The personnel from government services, public administration, private institutions and every other sector of the country are paying homage to the departed souls of the revered martyrs on this day.  

There is a place called ‘Shahid gate’ where people assemble and offer flowers and garlands to the statuettes of the four renowned martyrs of Nepal namely Dashrath Chand, Dharma Bhakta Mathema, Gangalal Shrestha and Shukraraj Shastri. They were the ones who sacrificed their own lives for the sake of freedom of the nation from the autocratic Rana regime and the instigation of democracy in Nepal. The sovereignty and prosperity of Nepal is largely attributed to the contribution of great people like them.  

Nepal One Tours congratulates all the Nepalese folks on this celebratory date and wishes for the peace and democracy to prevail in the country.

Cultural values of flowers in Nepal- Makhamali

                                                              

Makhamali is a flower that holds great cultural significance in Nepal. Its English name is Bachelor Button or Globe Amaranth. The Bhai Tika is the occasion when Nepalese folks make garlands and small bouquets (Guchchha) of this flower. Then these garlands are put around the neck and the guchchha on the ears of their brothers by the Nepali women.  

This flower has a specialty that it doesn’t wilt for a long time even after it has been plucked from the main plant, given that it is kept away from light. This distinctive feature of this blossom portrays a myth in Nepali that just like the longevity of its endurance, the brothers of females who have been offered Makhamali, will have a long life.     

Not only do they bear cultural value, they are also proved to hold medical properties like their seeds are found to contain high fiber and low saturated fats. Its oil is found to be useful for the patients of coronary heart diseases.

Rituals in Nepal-Swasthani Brata katha

                                                                               

Nepalese people have a month long ceremony of story-telling at their homes during the months of January-February. The story is called Shree Swasthani Brata katha which depicts the anecdote of the Hindu Goddess Swasthani. The tale is instigated on the full moon day of January and is continued till the next full moon day.

Some Nepali women even take fast during this one month. They opt for taking only one meal in a day and also visit different holy temples and rivers. The river of Sali is the popular site for pilgrimage all through this period. Hindu women have a deep belief that worshipping the Goddess with all of these offerings will fulfill the wishes and desires that they have in their hearts.       

The story-telling is done mostly on the evenings but it may differ according to the households. Different cuisines are offered along with the prayers to Goddess Swasthani.

Panche Baja

                                                                               

January is a month for many wedding ceremonies in Nepal. As we have mentioned in our previous blogs, the family members and friends of the bridegroom go to bring the bride to his home in a group called ‘Janti’. They sing and dance to the music played by men carrying typical Nepali musical instruments called Panche Baja.  

Panche Baja is an assembly of five musical instruments that hold great importance in Nepali culture and tradition. They have their own idiosyncratic names too which are Damaha, Narsiha (trumpet), Jhyaali, Dholak (drum) and Shehnai. The experts play the music of various Nepali folk songs, namely the Dohori songs with the help of these instruments. Anybody who runs into one of the Jantis would surely want to dance to the beat of such melody.
