Culture

Festivals, jatras, and the rhythms of community life

Newa culture is a living calendar of festivals, processions, and rituals.

Jatras

Jatras are the elaborate street festivals that animate Kathmandu Valley throughout the year.

The guthi system is a uniquely Newa institution — a socio-religious trust managing temples and festivals.

Newa rituals mark every stage of life.

The 1146 cultural night brought the Valley's performing traditions onto one stage.
