thanxs rajesh for the great pics.
am missin’ these festivals very much. even if we’re physically distant from nepal, our heart and soul will always be there.
these pics also help us to show our unique cultures to frens here.
though i am surprised at some of the commenters like (Samaya/Sydney) who compare our culture with some sydney chicks. I need to suggest him that if he knows nothing about this culture and the significance it have, then please shut your mouth.
lastly happy new year, and may the new year bring new sunshine in our country
and long live our traditions

Namaste!!!
Folks its a treat to see ‘tongue piercing’ shot….its amazing and I believe he has really cleaned himself …..his sins are forgiven. Obviously, he is the center of attraction. He is a great Dai…also an anti-rally against the king/Maoist/seven timid party.
Jay Nepal!!! My dear Shangrila in the mid-70s. Will we ever see the free mystical snow peaks again? Where once again people will be able to saunter on the street freely and enjoy the peace-loving Nepalis around them……I miss Kathmandu very much.
Let’s pray and hope it will come back to normal
God bless Nepal and its kind, friendly and happy folks. Shanti.

We have to respect our culture but right now we are in 21st century so we have to modify our culture according to this scientific era.

Dear all,
It is great things to protect the culture of Nepal. We should keep it up with our effort.
I believe it is only with Newari culture and it can be spreaded with others cultures.
Thanks

nice pictures, but i feel in this current moment we all nepli people should constrated out mind only in revolution for real democracy so if the cultural festicals come ahead in this juncture we better should forget out cultural show and festivals becasue it will disturb the great revulutions. so plz, forget the all things and come openly to the field and cry for LOCKTANTRA.
THANKS

bisket jatra is one thing and tonge piercing is another. there is no need to be so excited about tongue piercing, guyes. you guyes know that most of the women pierce ears, many pierce nose, and nowadays many chicks in the west pierce tongue lips and navel area. so, now, the guyes who are so excited about this tongue piercing, tell me why you are so excited. moreover this is just for one day, but for the chicks i just talked about, is a daily life.

gr8 picture. it is our culture. we should be proud of that. some of the commenters are comparing our culture with chicks. it’s foolishness. this is our culture from many years. and we should be proud that many foreigners get many knowledges from our culture. i feel very bad that many commenters are confused about their own culture.
