My Nepal Festival

Nepali food is filled with culture. With many cultures, comes many foods. Food in Nepal can differ from region to region or from household to household. Momo, Sel Roti, and Gundruk are important because they connect us to our culture. They are a major part of festivals, and even our everyday lives. Momo is a popular type of dumpling that is eaten in Nepal. Momo is thought to have originally came from Tibet to Nepal by Newar Merchants. ("Wikipedia") Momo is made using dumpling wrappers, made mostly

My family along with other Nepalese celebrate innumerable big festivals where food is one of the main rituals. Dashain, Tihar, Holi are some of the big festivals in Nepal and during Tihar (my favorite festivals among all), my family makes special meals like Chini roti (made of soaked rice, sugar, ghee), Nepali authentic meal (dal, bhat, masu) , sel roti (made of soaked rice, sugar, ghee, soda, milk, cashews) and other several foods. These festivals are like Christmas and Thanksgiving for us. The

The Kolkata Marwari speaks Bengali and enjoys his Mishti Doi, Marwaris in Mumbai, speak Marathi; are inseparable from the local Marathas. Even though we amalgamate with the local cultures, we maintain our social Marwari identities. Therefore, we celebrate Teej and Gangaur, two festivals that define our Rajasthani identity

Top 7 destinations for photographers I caught my love for photography at an early age, seeing my dad clicking pictures passionately using his now vintage camera, the Kodak Disc 3500. The bug of photography has never really left me since then and to add to that my dad's encouraging words have always helped me hone my skills as an amateur photographer. Over the years, the perfectionist photographer in me has relentlessly looked for the best of locations to shoot some outstanding pictures and that has

Diversity of the student population I came to know about Cambridge College during my visit to the United States in 2016; It was through my cousins and friends. They had explained me about the environment of the university, but I had not expected this much diversity of the students in the class. I believe having a variety of students in class always teaches you valuable things. We have students from all parts of the world. These students have provided me a chance to know about their country, cultures

Everyone has different culture and their own belief. In Kansas City Hmong has their own culture and they have express their culture in the mural on the 751 Minnesota Ave. That whole Murals tells Hmong story and how they come to United State and start living on the Kansas. In the mural, some boys were playing the giter. And dancing two girls are wearing their culture dress and dancing little bit far from the boys, I thought they were celebrating something in their culture. One boy or girl is working

creates a diverse and an open-minded, solid community. The community I lived in Nepal was non-diverse compared to Montgomery County, which consists of multiple ethnicities with linguistic diversity. The community I spent about nine years in Nepal lacked ethnic diversity. Although Nepal’s society as a whole is ethnically diverse, Nepal is complex due to the caste system that is still in use in modern day. The community in Nepal that I stayed in was dominated by the Brahmans and Chhetris, who were members

Background Nepal’s geography has made Nepal economically dependent on India as it is surrounded on three sides by India and on one (to its north) with the Himalayan range and the region of Tibet. After the devastating earth-quake in Nepal, the country was hit by another humanitarian crisis this time due to a blockade at a crucial crossing on the border with India, which halted oil and other essential supplies landlocked Nepal obtains from its giant neighbor.

Buddha belonged to the royal family of Lumbini from the republic of Sakka in the foothills of Himalayas, now known as Nepal(5)(6).

Gautama married at the age of 16 and became a father at the age of 29. He named

I was born in Nepal, and I lived there for the first twelve years of my life. While there, I went to school and studied Buddhism. I learned about his life and the philosophies he kept and practiced. Also, I learned that he was a great leader with great ideas. Some of these ideas are the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold path, Nirvana, fundamental wisdoms, the theory of karma and rebirth, the five precepts, and the Wheel of Dharma. These have influenced many people over the past twenty-five centuries
