  • River Culture in Nepal
    Nepalese Culture Vol. XIV : 1-12, 2021 Central Department of NeHCA, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/nc.v14i0.35187 River Culture in Nepal Kamala Dahal- Ph.D Associate Professor, Patan Multipal Campus, T.U. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Most of the world civilizations are developed in the river basins. However, we do not have too big rivers in Nepal, though Nepalese culture is closely related with water and rivers. All the sacraments from birth to the death event in Nepalese society are related with river. Rivers and ponds are the living places of Nepali gods and goddesses. Jalkanya and Jaladevi are known as the goddesses of rivers. In the same way, most of the sacred places are located at the river banks in Nepal. Varahakshetra, Bishnupaduka, Devaghat, Triveni, Muktinath and other big Tirthas lay at the riverside. Most of the people of Nepal despose their death bodies in river banks. Death sacrement is also done in the tirthas of such localities. In this way, rivers of Nepal bear the great cultural value. Most of the sacramental, religious and cultural activities are done in such centers. Religious fairs and festivals are also organized in such a places. Therefore, river is the main centre of Nepalese culture. Key words: sacred, sacraments, purity, specialities, bath. Introduction The geography of any localities play an influencing role for the development of culture of a society. It affects a society directly and indirectly. In the beginning the nomads passed their lives for thousands of year in the jungle.

This review presents a summary of aromatic medicinal plants from the Indian Himalaya, Nepal, and Bhutan, focusing on plant species for which volatile compositions have been described. The review summarizes 116 aromatic plant species distributed over 26 families. Keywords: Jammu and Kashmir; Himachal Pradesh; Uttarakhand; Nepal; Sikkim; Bhutan; essential oils 1. Introduction The Himalya Center of Plant Diversity [1] is a narrow band of biodiversity lying on the southern margin of the Himalayas, the world’s highest mountain range with elevations exceeding 8000 m. The plant diversity of this region is defined by the monsoonal rains, up to 10,000 mm rainfall, concentrated in the summer, altitudinal zonation, consisting of tropical lowland rainforests, 100–1200 m asl, up to alpine meadows, 4800–5500 m asl. Hara and co-workers have estimated there to be around 6000 species of higher plants in Nepal, including 303 species endemic to Nepal and 1957 species restricted to the Himalayan range [2–4].

  • Genealogical Classification of New Indo-Aryan Languages and Lexicostatistics
    Anton I. Kogan Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia, Moscow); [email protected] Genealogical classification of New Indo-Aryan languages and lexicostatistics Genetic relations among Indo-Aryan languages are still unclear. Existing classifications are often intuitive and do not rest upon rigorous criteria. In the present article an attempt is made to create a classification of New Indo-Aryan languages, based on up-to-date lexicosta- tistical data. The comparative analysis of the resulting genealogical tree and traditional clas- sifications allows the author to draw conclusions about the most probable genealogy of the Indo-Aryan languages. Keywords: Indo-Aryan languages, language classification, lexicostatistics, glottochronology. The Indo-Aryan group is one of the few groups of Indo-European languages, if not the only one, for which no classification based on rigorous genetic criteria has been suggested thus far. The cause of such a situation is neither lack of data, nor even the low level of its historical in- terpretation, but rather the existence of certain prejudices which are widespread among In- dologists. One of them is the belief that real genetic relations between the Indo-Aryan lan- guages cannot be clarified because these languages form a dialect continuum. Such an argu- ment can hardly seem convincing to a comparative linguist, since dialect continuum is by no means a unique phenomenon: it is characteristic of many regions, including those where Indo- European languages are spoken, e.g. the Slavic and Romance-speaking areas. Since genealogi- cal classifications of Slavic and Romance languages do exist, there is no reason to believe that the taxonomy of Indo-Aryan languages cannot be established.

  • Variation in Chemical Composition of Essential Oil Extracted from the Fruits and Leaves of Cinnamomum Tenuipile Kosterm (Sugandhakokila) of Nepal
    2019J. Pl. Res. Vol. 17, No. 1, pp 86-93, 2019 Journal of Plant Resources Vol.17, No. 1 Variation in Chemical Composition of Essential Oil Extracted From the Fruits and Leaves of Cinnamomum tenuipile Kosterm (Sugandhakokila) of Nepal Tara Datt Bhatt*, Amit Dhungana and Jyoti Joshi Department of Plant Resources, Thapathali, Kathmandu, Nepal *Email: [email protected] Abstract The purpose of this study was to find out the variation of major chemical constituents present in the essential oil of leaves and fruits of Cinnamomum tenuipile Kosterm analyzed by GCMS instrument. Leaves and Fruits of Cinnamomum tenuipile Kosterm were collected from Brindaban Botanical Garden of Makawanpur district of Nepal. The extraction of essential oil was performed by hydro-distillation using Clevenger apparatus and then their chemical composition was identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The results of chromatographic analysis have shown somehow similar compounds except camphor which was found in fruits whereas it was absent in leaf oil. By GCMS analysis 13 and 15 compounds were identified respectively in which eucalyptol (24.17%) and methyl cinnamate (52.18%) were found as major compound in leaf oil while eucalyptol (38.23%), camphor (19.57%) and methyl cinnamate (22.53%) were found as major compound in fruit oil. Keywords: Camphor, Clevenger , Eucalyptol, GC-MS, Methyl cinnamate Introduction The different parts of Sugandhakokila tree contains essential oil in different percentages which is used for The evergreen, Cinnamomum tenuipile Kosterm the formulation of perfume as well as uesd in the form (syn.

  • Sankhuwasabha
    DTMP Sankhuwasabha 2012 FOREWORD It is my great pleasure to introduce this District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Sankhuwasabha district especially for district road core network (DRCN). I believe that this document will be helpful in backstopping to Rural Transport Inffrastructure Sector Wide Approach (RTI SWAp) through sustainable planning, resouurces mobilization, implementation and monitoring of the rural road sub-sector development. The document is anticipated to generate substantial employment opportunities for rural people through increased and reliable accessibility in on farm and off-farm livelihood diversification, and commercialization and industrialization of agriculture and other economic sectors, as well as harmonization of social centres. In this context, rural road sector will play a fundamental role to strengthen and promote overall economic growth of this district through established and improved year round transport services reiinforcing intra and inter-district linkages . Therefore, it is most crucial in executing rural road networks in a planned way as per the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) by considering the framewwork of available resources in DDC comprising both inteernal and external sources. Viewing these aspects, DDC Sankhuwasabha has prepared the DTMP by focusing mostt of the available resources into upgrading and maintenance of the existing road networks. This document is also bbeen assumed to be helpful in lobbing and fascinating the donor agencies through central government towards generating needy resources through basket fund approach. Furthermore, this document not solely will be supportive in avoiding pervasive duplication approach in resources allocation under the rural road network development sector but also will be helpful in supporting overall development management of the district.
