hamro panauti

Every Nepalese household believing in Lord Swosthani recites the story of Swosthani every year during the month called Magha. This year reciting of Swosthani story starts on January 8, 2012, and then ends on the next full moon day. After the evening meal all family members and some neighbors who have no Swosthani readers gather together and sit to listen the story every night for the whole month. Traditionally, anybody could read out the story, and a reader does not need to perform purification rituals; so, anybody willing to recite the story might sit and take the meticulously hand-written rectangular unbound book usually wrapped in a piece of red cloth and revered as a God Swosthani in Nepal Bhasa and read it out. Currently, printed books are available in the market in Nepal Bhasa and Nepali language, too. read more...
