Nepal’s festivals have historic and scientific value: PM Dahal



KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has said Nepal’s festivals have carried huge historic and scientific significance.

In a message of best wishes today on the occasion of the Lhosar festival, celebrated mainly by the Tamang community from the mountain and upper hilly regions of the country, PM Dahal viewed that all ethnic communities have their own cultures and tradition.

“Nepal’s national culture is the entirety of all types of cultures. We’re multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-religious, which is a matter of pride. It is national asset in deed,” PM Dahal underscored.
