Prologue

The Newars are the indigenous inhabitants of Kathmandu valley, then known as Nepal Valley or Nepala Mandala. We Jwajalapa! know 'Culture does not emerge out of a vacuum but is generally perceived as being forged from a combination of such influences as landscape, climate, history, circumstance, or as Hannerz presents it, by the influence of ecology'. So is the case of Newar Culture .

Newar is not a single caste as Gurungs, Magars, Tamangs, Tharus etc. stand for, in fact they are a nation within themselves. Thus, Newar culture, also affected by various immigrant groups, is combination of culture of various castes, which is indeed unique, not only in the country, but in the entire world. This site attempts to give information on various aspects of Newar culture.
