Lovely Tharu nis during one of their festive.
Facts:
Tharus are the largest group of people in the Terai area. Historically, they were the
only ones that were able to reside in the malarial jungles on the country's southern border.
But as mosquito control became available, many others have migrated into their area.
Being hunters and fishermen, this migration has affected the Tharu's lifestyle of roaming with
resource availability. Many are now farmers and they are most exploited peasants, especially in the Dang-Deukhuri, Bardiya, and Kailali areas. Tharus have their own language but their
customs differ according to the settlement area. In some areas, the Tharu women marry early.
Their lovers must often work for their parents-in-law for two to three days before they "earn" the
right to marry.
Living as they do in the realm of wildlife and insects, Tharus revere animistic spirits as well as some
Hindu deities. A village god is worshiped by each community at a small raised shrine.
Some family names of Tharus are: Rana, Kathariya, and Chaudhari.

Tharus was one of the earliest inhabitants of Nepal. According to
Nepalese Culture: Annual Journal of NeHCA By Tribhuvana Viśvavidyālaya Nepālī
Itihāsa, Saṃskr̥ti, ra Purātatva Śikshaṇa Samiti, Tribhuvana
Viśvavidyālaya, together with Dhimal, Hayu, Koch, Thami, Chepang
and Surel ethnic groups, Tharus are also consider themselves to be
of
Kirati descent.
In support scholar G.P Singh wrote that "The Thadus or Tharus occupying the Tarai region from
Nepal and eastern Rohilkhanda along the frontiers of Oudh to Gorakhpur are supposed to be
identical with the Kiratas. The great bulk of them are now subjects of Nepal Government."
G.P Singh (The Kiratas in Ancient India), 1990

Newar ni Beauty_JPG by JPG


    The origin of the term Newar is not yet fully established. According to D.R.Regmi “ Newar is a comparatively new term. It came to be used for the inhabitants of the valley about the 17th century.    It is not surprising that the Newar people were influenced by Tibet and India. What is surprising is
their creativity response to this stimulus, which actually led to a genuine exchange with their giant neighbors. Medieval Near society has left a religious architectural and artistic legacy that is unique,
and spectacular by any standard. Although most Newars have Mongoloid physical characteristics, some don't, so their origins are shrouded in mystery. It is now generally accepted that they are a mixture of many different peoples who were attracted to the valley, possibly origination with the Kiratis.  Regmi states that the early Newars may have an ancestry connected with both the Kiranti
and the Lichhavis, one-time rulers of the Nepal Valley.

    During the course of history a considerable amount of cultural influence has been exerted on the Newar culture by various immigrant groups. These immigrants were ultimately absorbed into the Newar community. Of all the people who migrated to the Nepal Valley, the Malla Kshatriyas of India were the most distinctive. Perhaps the Newars most striking characteristic is their love of communal life. Newar houses were invariably clustered together, usually around sites of religious significance. Although their economy was centered around agriculture and trade, they created sophisticated urban communities which catered to a breadth of human needs in an integrated way that has rarely been matched.

    Today there are around 600,000 Newars largely centered in the Kathmandu Valley. Always traders and merchants, the Newars continue to fill this role throughout the kingdom.
Slusser contends that people of Tibeto-Burman origin probably drifted down from the harsh Tibetan plateau and were ancestors of the current hill tribes and Newars. (Slusser, 1982).

Sunuwar beauty at Syadar Sili (Chandi Nacch).

Sunuwar (commonly known as Mukhia) is a pure Kiranti tribal group. Sunuwar peoples have
their own socity, cultural aspects, costumes, and language. Sunuwar like other Kiranti group
practice animism and shamanism.The method of worshiping and other related performances
are totally Shamanistic and their priests are known as ‘POINBOS’ who is held in high estimation
 in the Sunuwar family.

Outside the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal, even until a few years back such a precious identity
and existence of Sunuwars was almost on the verge of extinction.Therefore, taken into account
the massive dangers being faced by them a most renowned and hard working literacy and social
figure, Mr. Buddhiman Pradhan took the challenging task by researching and preparing a historical book named “KIRAT BANSHI SUNUWAR (MUKHIS) KOINCHA” in full cooperation with the most dedicated, dynamic and farsighted Sunuwar personalities both from Sikkim and Darjeeling. Finally, the so called historical book came into full limelight in the year 1999 containing each and
every conceivable aspects of Sunuwar right from the alphabetical and numerical introduction up to the comparative study of Sunuwar with every major Kiranti Clans and Communities.
It is also believe that the group "Jirel" and "Surel" are also the sub-group of Sunuwar.
