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.

  • A Study on Dallagaon Homestay & Its Sustainability
    A Study on Dallagaon Homestay and Its Sustainability Nepal Rastra Bank Nepalgunj Office Banking Development and Research Unit January 2015 Forewords Despite lots of prospects for tourism-led development, the tourism sector still holds a meager share in Nepal's GDP. The tourism benefits have also not reached up to the grass-root levels. A cause for this is that tourism has been mostly sought in and around the major destinations and trekking trails only. A broader view on tourism is required to promote it beyond mainstream areas. As an effort, alternative forms of tourism are growing in the country since last few years. One of them is homestay tourism. The Tharu community from mid-west Nepal has also started their unique homestay program namely "Khata Biological Corridor Homestay" since the year 2011 in Dalla village which lies in the Suryapatuwa VDC of Bardiya district. Since a well-timed appraisal of such programs together with the analysis of their socio-economic impact and sustainability can be helpful to improve contribution of such programs and also the overall tourism sector in the national economy, the study on this subject was found to be significant. As part of the study, a pilot visit of the study area was made to select the respondents and test the study-questionnaires. During final visit, 70 different respondents from homestay households, non-homestay households, guests and the homestay management committee were contacted to fill out the study-questionnaires. A focus group discussion was also conducted. The study report has been organized into five sections. The first section presents introduction.
