With the arrival of monsoons in late June officially begins in & all over . Rice is the stable of this agrarian culture & is an important part of the Nepali diet as well as rituals.

Today is "Asar Pandhra" celebrated as "Rashtriya Dhaan Diwas", a day dedicated to the industrious farmers who bring food to the Nepali table. On this day, all gather to muddy fields to celebrate "Ropain" or paddy planting; what follows is singing, dancing, merry making & enjoying Nepali comfort food "Dahi-Chiura" (yoghurt & beaten rice) as per cultural norm.

Rice is also an important part of Asian heritage! And here's wishing all across the continent a Happy Paddy Season! 🌾🌾

In January 2026 Princess Sineenatha Bilasakalyani, member of the Thai Royal Family, paid a visit to Lumbini, Birthplace of Lord Buddha. She offered her prayers at the inner chamber, meditated, met with officials and took pictures in front of the Mayadevi Temple, and Ashok Pillar dated 259 BCE. On the Ashok Pillar is script in ancient Brahmi that states that this is the exact spot where Buddha was born here in 623 BC.

The masks and the mask-maker!

Masks hold special significance in Nepali culture. Many of the ancient festivals of have masked dances as highlight of the events. The wearer is often designated personnel trained to perform highly theatrical cultural or religious performance embodying the spirit. These masks blur the lines between human and divine.

Authentic historical masks are rare; either in museums or in the ownership of community. Commercial masks are the affordable versions, that can be bought by tourists as souvenirs. Here we have a mask artisan at work in his workshop in ,
