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. -

Zombie Slayers in a “Hidden Valley” (Sbas Yul): Sacred Geography and Political Organisation in the Nepal-Tibet Borderland1
Zombie Slayers in a “Hidden Valley” (sbas yul): Sacred Geography and Political Organisation in the Nepal-Tibet Borderland1 Francis Khek Gee Lim The Himalaya, with its high peaks and deep valleys, served for centuries as natural geographical frontier and boundary between the kingdoms and states of South Asia it straddles. Given the strategic advantage of controlling that high ground, it is little wonder that the Himalaya has throughout history witnessed countless skirmishes between neighbouring states that sought such strategic advantage. The interest in this mountain range, of course, was not restricted to matters of defence. North-south trade routes criss-crossed the Himalayan range, connecting the Tibetan plateau to the rest of the Indian subcontinent, ensuring lucrative tax revenues for those who controlled these economic lifelines. In the era of European colonialism in the “long” 19th century, the Himalaya became embroiled in what has been called the “Great Game” between the British and Russian empires, who sought to expand their respective commercial and imperial interests in the region. Due to its pristine environment, awe-inspiring mountains, and the remoteness of its valleys, the Himalaya was also the well-spring of countless legends, myths and romantic imaginings, engendering the sacralisation of the landscape that had served as a source of religious inspiration for peoples living both in its vicinity and beyond. Hence, despite its remoteness — or because of it — warfare, pilgrimages, trade and the search for viable areas of settlement have been some of the key factors contributing to the migratory process and interest in the area. Largely because they lay in the frontier zone, enclaves of Tibetan settlements located deep in the numerous Himalayan valleys were often on the outer fringes of state influence, enjoying a significant degree of local autonomy until processes of state consolidation intensified in the last century or so, as exemplified by the case of Nepal. -

JNU-NAPSIPAG Conference: Report of Proceedings
JNU-NAPSIPAG Conference: Report of Proceedings A REPORT OF PROCEEDINGS NAPSIPAG’s Tenth International Conference hosted by the Centre for the Study of Law and Governance at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi 7th to 9th December 2013 on “Locked in Growth Patterns: Revisiting land and disasters for the post- 2015 Developmental Agenda for the Asia Pacific” (In partnership with UNDP,ICSSR,NDMA) 1 Page JNU-NAPSIPAG Conference: Report of Proceedings Background notes: The December conference has been a culmination of the continuing efforts being made by the Asia- Pacific scholars since 2010, to create a platform of mutual learning amongst decision makers from government, academia and civil society groups on achieving MDGs and identifying gaps which prevent policy implementation. The last three major international workshops (Kathmandu Dec.2011, Colombo Dec.2012 and Dehradun June 2013) have specifically focused on “Climate Change (CC) related human and environmental security issues”. The objective has been to create an interface between academia and administrators so that the gaps in knowledge and understanding could make policies implementable and sustainable. The fundamental philosophy which is the driving and consolidating force of the workshop is to interrogate policies of consumerism and commoditization of nature which destroys the carrying capacity of land and water resources. The GNP/GDP based development has made the world more vulnerable to natural calamities which are labeled as “Natural” but are mostly “manmade”. Decision making processes within countries should incorporate sustainable lifestyle patterns. The 2013 Human Development Report- “The Rise of the South: Human Progress in a Diverse World” examines the profound shift in global dynamics driven by the fast-rising new powers of the developing world and its long term implications for human development. -
The Collection of Nepal Coins and Medals Property Of
THE COLLECTION OF NEPAL COINS AND MEDALS PROPERTY OF THE LATE NICHOLAS RHODES THE COLLECTION OF NEPALI COINS AND MEDALS PROPERTY OF THE LATE NICHOLAS RHODES THE COLLECTION OF NEPALI COINS AND MEDALS PROPERTY OF THE LATE NICHOLAS RHODES Nicholas Rhodes (1946-2011) has been described as a “numismatic giant … a scholar and collector of immense importance” (JONS No.208). His specialist numismatic interests embraced the currency of the whole Himalayan region - from Kashmir and Ladakh in the west, through Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, to Assam and the Hindu states of north-east India. He was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal Numismatic Society in 2002 and served as Secretary General of the Oriental Numismatic Society from 1997. Having started collecting coins from an early age, his lifelong passion for oriental coins started in 1962 with the coins of Nepal, which at the time presented the opportunity to build a meaningful collection and provided a fertile field for original research. ‘The Coinage of Nepal’, written in collaboration with close friends Carlo Valdettaro and Dr. Karl Gabrisch and published by the Royal Numismatic Society in 1989 (henceforth referred to in this brochure as ‘RGV’), is the standard reference work for this eye-catching series and “may be considered as Nicholas Rhodes’ magnum opus” (JONS No.208). The Nicholas Rhodes collection is considered to be the finest collection of Nepal coins currently in existence. Totalling approximately 3500 pieces, the collection is well documented and comprehensive; indeed, Nicholas was renowned for his painstaking ability to track down every known variety of a series. On the one hand it includes some magnificent highlights of the greatest rarity. -
