JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Riveting Nepal: A Cultural Flash! By Ms. Mahua Sen [email protected] Abstract “A Nepali outlook, pace and philosophy had prevented us being swamped by our problems. In Nepal, it was easier to take life day by day.” -Jane Wilson-Howarth, A Glimpse of Eternal Snows: A Journey of Love and Loss in the Himalayas. We do sniff the essence of Nepal in these lines! Squeezed in between China and India, Nepal is one of the most fascinating places to visit on earth. Home to the awe-inspiring Mt. Everest, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, this exquisite country stretches diverse landscapes from the Himalayan Mountains in the North to the flat expansive plains in the south. The birth of the nation is dated to Prithvi Narayan Shah's conquest of the Kathmandu Valley kingdoms in 1768. Deep gorges, sky-scraping mountains, exuberant culture and charismatic people – Nepal is the ideal destination not only for adventurers but also for people seeking a peaceful sojourn in the lap of serenity. Keywords Nepal, culture, festival, Hindu, Buddhism 1 JOURNAL OF ASIAN ARTS, CULTURE AND LITERATURE (JAACL) VOL 2, NO 1: MARCH 2021 Festival Flavors Customs and culture vary from one part of Nepal to another. The capital city Kathmandu is drenched in a rich drapery of cultures, a unique silhouette to form a national identity. Nepali culture portrays an amalgamation of Indo-Aryan and Tibeto-Mongolian influences, the result of a long history of migration, conquest, and trade.

Worshipping Mha Puja
WORSHIPPING MHA PUJA Prepared by: Dr. Prajwal Lal Pradhan Canadian Newa Guthi, Canada hf]hf]nkf JOJOLAPA gd:t] NAMASTE Mha Puja is an annual cultural and ritual event performed by the Newar people to purify, strengthening and empowering the soul as part of New Year celebrations. It is performed on New Year’s Day of Nepal Sambat, the national lunar calendar of Nepal, which occurs during this Swanti Festival. This is also a unique culture of Newar ethnic community. Mha Puja means “Worship of the SELF", and it celebrates the spirit within oneself. The ceremony signifies an auspicious beginning of the New Year, and invokes prosperity and longevity for the participant. Mha Puja and Nepal Sambat are also celebrated abroad where Nepalese have settled. The procedure of this festival differs from place to place . But the major objective remains same. MHA PUJA IS CELEBRATED ON THE FOURTH DAY OF TIHAR BY THE NEWAR COMMUNITY MHA PUJA LITERALLY REFERS TO SELF WORSHIP, MAKING OFFERING TO ONE’S BODY. Mha puja, the worship of the inner self, is unique to Newa people. They believe that one needs to understand and respect oneself before he/she can understand others. Mha Puja carries all the grandeur that a typical Newa festival or ritual possesses. It also is distinct from other Hindu or Buddhist worships in that it is the worship of oneself and not the usual worship of Gods and Goddesses or others. Mha Puja exposes the relationship of a person with the surroundings nature and the cosmos. Understanding of one's role in life makes him/her more knowledgeable and unselfish.

Tihar Andra Namn: Depawali (Diwali). Yama Panchak, Swanti Nakha
Tihar Andra namn: Depawali (Diwali). Yama Panchak, Swanti Nakha Tihar har inget fast datum utan bestäms enligt månen, och infaller i oktober eller i november enligt vår kalender. Man firar i dagarna fem. Skördearbetet är avslutat, sommarhalvåret närmar sitt slut och ett nytt kalenderår stundar för newarer. (Deras tidräkning börjar från år 880 eKr då en man från Bhaktapur gick till kung Jaya Deva Malla i Kathmandu med ett fantastiskt löfte. Alla medborgare skulle befrias från sina skulder om kungen kunde starta en ny tideräkning.) Ordet Tihar betyder ”en rad av lyktor”. Med dessa lockas välståndets gudinna Laxmi in i hemmen. Hon färdas runt jorden på sin uggla och inspekterar att hemmen är ordentligt rengjorda och ljusen tända till hennes ära. Då liv och död är oskiljaktiga i hinduismen finns även dödens gud, Yama, närvarande vid Tihar. Under Pannchak Yama (=fem dagar av Yama) visas dödsguden mycket respekt. Varje dag av festivalen har sitt eget tema. Kråkans dag Första dagen, Kag Bali, tillägnas kråkan, dödsgudens budbärare. Den olycksbådande fågeln blidkas med mat som ställs ut på fat av hopsydda löv. Förutom mat kan även mynt och rökelse läggas på fatet. Hundens dag Kukur Tihar eller Sho Puja är namnet för den andra dagen då hundar bemöts med extra vänlighet. Hunden bevakar dödsrikets portar och kan underlätta för själen att nå Underjorden och få Yamas dom. Hunden uppfattas också som guden Bhairava eller hans riddjur. Förutom läcker mat får hunden en röd prick i pannan som välsignelse och en blomstergirlang runt halsen denna dag. Kons dag Den tredje dagen kallas Laxmi Puja eller kons dag.
