Akha Chhen - A Paradise Found!

 While walking down the lanes of culturally rich Thimi, the traveller may chance upon a place called a chapahcho where there is a traditional wooden cum brick gate adorned with flaring the traditional frills atop it. As the very gate denotes, this house belonging to an aficionado has in store real exclusive treasures for the lovers of culture. This small article attempts to give information of the very institution Akha Chhen - The Cultural Museum and its associates.
The Cultural Museum
“Akha Chhen” literally means the Newah traditional house for teaching, practicing and performing traditional and classical music and dances. It is also a sacred place for storing musical instruments, dance costumes and worshiping Nasah Dyoh - Newah god of music and dances. Akha Chhen can be thought of as amalgamation of both a theater and a museum. With the traditional concept of Akha Chhen, Mr. Ganesh Ram Lachhi started to collect traditional musical instruments, costumes and other cultural objects which are slowly being extinct. With this collection, he formed a small cultural museum and named the very museum as “Akha Chhen”.
