Lord Buddha

Siddhartha Gautama, who was born in Lumbini in Nepal in 563 BC, Later became Buddha which means “the enlightened one” after attaining enlightenment in 527 BC. He is now known as the “Light of Asia” and the “World Peace Messenger”. His father was Suddhodan and mother was Maya Devi.


The Prince Siddhartha left his wife (Yashodhara), his son (Rahul) and the palace when he was nearly thirty in order to achieve something for mankind. The suffering of the people around him forced him to leave the palace and its facilities and became holy man. He suffered a lot in search of enlightenment for six year. He even didn’t have food and sleep. He grew weaker. One day while he was sitting under a holy bo-tree, he understood the cause of human sorrow and adversity.

The truth that he acquired or attained is now known as Buddha’s teaching. They are:

1. The human suffering is always present,

2. The source of suffering is the search for human pleasure,

3. One must be free from suffering by achieving Nirvana,

4. And the way to “Nirvana” is thought understanding thought, speech, action, and means of livelihood (work), effort, recollection and meditation. These eight facts are known as “Eight Fold Path”.

X-mas (Christmas)

Christmas is the greatest festivals of the Christians after Easter. It is celebrated throughout the world with joy and happiness. It is celebrated on the 25th of December in the day when Jesus Christ was born. A public holiday has been declared in Nepal so that Christians can celebrate it happily.


Jesus Christ was the person who tried to divert people towards love and affection. The principal of the Christ was “love even enemies”. Be kind to everyone even though they hate you. These festivals stared in the memory of the Christ –the super human who was born in 1 AD in Jordan.

On Christmas day, people pray the God. Everybody takes part in the celebration. They decorate their houses with colors and Christmas trees. They also make the churches cleaner. People, specially, kins, exchanges their gifts of love. They eat delicious meal. Children became much happier on this day because they receive many things from Santa clause.

To sum up, Christmas is the symbol of love and kindness. So, it should be preserved until people love people.

Tihar

It is also a main festival of Hindus. It is a colorful festival of lights. It is the second greatest festival of Nepal after Dashain. The celebration takes place for five days in late October or early November. It is held in the houour of lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya after a long exile of 14 years. It starts with offering of bhat (rice) to the crows which are thought to be sent by Yama, the god of death. The crow is regarded as the messenger of death.


On the second day, dogs are honoured or worshipped with garlands of flowers and tikas. The street and dogs, which are often kicked, are honoured on this day hoping that the dog leads the departed soul after death to cross the “River of dead or death”. The dog is also taken as the vehicle of lord bhairab. On third, day cows are worshipped by painting one horned yellow and the other gold. In the evening, Dipawali is observed by lighting palas, lamps, candles and bulbs everywhere to make the goddess laxmai happy. It is believed that laxmai comes to visit every house in the evening. Similarly, on the fourth day, bullocks are honored. Their dung is also worshipped. Day 5 is known as bhai tika. On this day, brothers while the brother give money or gifts to their sister in return. This brother-sister relation is believed to take place since Yamuna brought back from the god of death-Yama.

In this day most of the children and young, guys play with fireworks or patakas. It not only causes fire and sounds pollution but also get people frightened. They waste millions of rupees in a short period. Likewise, gambling also ruins the people’s status and property. To sum up, since the festival reflects the cultural life of the nation, it is significant in many ways.





A Place of Historical Importance

In Nepal there are a number of places of historical importance. The Kathmandu Valley itself is a place of such importance.


It is said that the valley of Kathmandu was once a great lake. In course of time the water in it flowed out through a passage and thus it became the present valley.

Kathmandu always has history in it because many great kings such as Manadeva, Ansuverma, Jayasthiti malla, Prithivi Narayan Shah, Tribhuvan Bir Bikram Shah all ruled over it.

Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal. Kathmandu is also known as the city of temples. The temples of Lord Pashupati Nath, Guhayeswari, Lord Krishna in Patan, Dakshin Kali, Taleju, etc are situated in this area.

The fifty-five-windowed palace of Bhaktapur, the Hanuman Dhoka and the Narayanhity palace are the unparalleled instances of Nepalese art and carving.







Rivers in Nepal

Renowned as a country of natural beauty, Nepal is also rich in water resources. Rivers rise or begin to flow from mountains or lakes. They flow through mountains, rocks and plain lands. They finally fall into the sea or some other river.


There are a large number of rivers in Nepal. Most of them rise from the Himalayas or high mountains. However, some come from the mountain tops.

A few name of such rivers are; Koshi or Tamor, Gandaki, Arun, trishuli, Rapti, Sunkoshi, Narayani, Seti, etc. Koshi is the biggest of these rivers. We are rich in water resources. We can make good income from these rivers. However, only a little part of water resources in proper usage, it is unfortunate that most of the water flows down uselessly.

Nepal is second rich country in water resources in the world. Brazil is the richest country in water resources in the world. If hydro-electricity could be produced, Nepal would have been country as advanced of the developing countries.









Forests of Nepal

Nepal is rich in forest resources. People therefore say that ‘green forests are the wealth of Nepal’. The forests of Nepal can be classified into these five parts – (1) sub-tropical evergreen, (2) Temperate Deciduous, (3) Temperate coniferous (4) Alpine vegetation and (5) Tundra vegetation.


1. Sub-tropical Evergreen Forests: These are found in the regions up to the height of 1200metres. The rainfall is heavy and temperature is high in areas such as the Terai and the Chure. Trees are tall and thick, and always look green. This type of forest runs from eastern border to western border of Nepal. This type of forest in which Sal, Sisau, khayar, etc are found is most important one from the economic point of view.

2. Temperate Deciduous Forest: Such a forest is found at the Mahabharata at the height 2100metres. It is not thick. In winter it is very cold and most of the leaves of trees fall off. Important trees of this forest are sallo, katus, gurans, sal, etc.

3. Temperate Coniferous forest: It is found at the places lied between 2100metres and 3300meters of the Mahabharata. As it is cold all the year round, it snows here. Soft wood, useful for making furniture and match stick, like sallo, devadaru dhupi, katus, simal, etc is found here.

4. Alpine Vegetation: It is at the Himalayan regions and hilly areas. The climate here being always dry no tall trees except short grass are found here.

Transportation is the medium of carrying goods and people from one place to another place. There are three types of road in Nepal they are metal led roads, graveled roads and fair-weather roads. The length of metal led roads is 4780.91 km, graveled road is 4519.84km and fair-weather is 7533.74 km. It is difficult to construct road in the hilly and the Himalayan region due to steep slopes, cliffs, landslides, deep gorges and rocky terrain. There are also many rivers and streams that needs bridges. During the rainy season, there are floods, landslides and mudslides. These damage roads and bridges. As a result, roads and bridges frequently need repair work, which requires large expenditures. Additionally, it is risky to work during the rainy season.
