असी वर्ष ! थोरैतिनो समय होइन असी वर्ष । जीवन बाँचेका यावत् दिन गन्दा मलाई गाँठ्ठे, एकबारको जुनी बाँच्नुसम्म पो बाँचेँ त भन्ने हर्षानुभूति हुन्छ । खगेन्द्र संग्रौला

सिंह जात्रा (मध्यपुरथिमी) र जिब्रो छेड्ने जात्रा (बोडे)
फोटो: अशोक बज्राचार्य


दा पेरा तेउ — यो विशेष सांस्कृतिक परम्परा अन्तर्गत, बोडेमा आयोजना हुने जिब्रो छेड्ने जात्रा एक अनौठो, साहसिक तथा ऐतिहासिक जात्रा हो। यस जात्रामा एक स्थानीय पुरुषले आफ्नो जिब्रो छेडेर मध्यपुरथिमीबाट सुरु गरी पशुपतिनाथसम्म परिक्रमा गर्ने परम्परा छ।

यस परम्पराले दुःख सहन सक्ने क्षमता, भक्तिभाव, र सांस्कृतिक उत्तराधिकारलाई जीवित राख्ने काम गर्छ। साथै, यसले समुदायमा एकता, साहस र श्रद्धा झल्काउँछ।

मध्यपुरथिमीको सिंह जात्रा पनि अत्यन्त प्रसिद्ध र ऐतिहासिक छ, जहाँ विभिन्न देवता र सिंहमुखका स्वरूपहरू नाचाउँदै नगर परिक्रमा गरिन्छ।

यी दुवै जात्राले नेपालका परम्परागत संस्कृति र बौद्धिक गहिराइलाई दर्शाउँछन्।

NITANGAL: The Song of Wings

"A bird does not sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." – Chinese Proverb

An instrumental journey by Live Lounge Band, inspired by Nitangal—a melody of freedom, soaring over Pokhara through the eyes of a bird. A tribute to nature, flight, and boundless inspiration.

"Vācā Dance"
Created by Libero Riveria
PLF 9th - New Original from Pokhara

Inspired by 563 BCE, Vācā Dance symbolizes the journey from suffering (hop) to self-realization, like a lotus blooming from muddy waters. It begins with chaotic movements, transitions through struggle, and culminates in graceful blooming, representing peace.
