Newari New Year Marked In Kathmandu
A band of members of the aboriginal Newa: community in Kathmandu, Nepal, on November 2, 2024, don traditional attire and play the flute as they mark ''Nepal Sambat'' - Newari New Year. The Newa: community marks this day as New Year's Day, honoring the indigenous calendar of Nepal. Shankhadhar Sakhwa initiated the Nepal Sambat in 880 AD when he relieved the people from debt during the reign of Lichchhavi King Raghavdev. In recognition of his significant contribution, the government declares Sakhwa a national luminary on November 18, 1999. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
