Nepalese culture is synonymous with the culture of Nepal Mandala or Newar culture. This Newar culture, with its very long history and tradition, is equally great. Therefore, it is the pride and basis of identity of Nepal. It is a very important work that the Newar Cultural Encyclopedia has been compiled as a comprehensive informative text on Newar culture, heritage, and art. It is a great pleasure that this Newar Cultural Encyclopedia could be created with diversity and breadth under the leadership of an academic and official institution like Nepal Bhasa Academy. Kathmandu Metropolitan City and Nepal BhasaAcademy, through collaboration, has successfully completed this important work and brought this encyclopedic text into your hands. In this regard, Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Department of Heritage and Tourism, feels proud.
Kathmandu Metropolitan City has recognized the work of art, culture, and heritage conservation and promotion as a project of pride. This Newa Cultural Encyclopedia is also a significant and important project of pride for Kathmandu Metropolitan City. Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Heritage and Tourism Department extends special thanks to everyone involved in completing this dignified project of pride.
