By A Staff Reporter, Lalitpur, Oct. 18 : The Yala Study Centre released three publications at Nepal Bhasa Manka Khala in Tyagal on Saturday.
The publications including Jigu Chwasa by agricultural expert Kajiman Maharjan, Bideshi Bidhwan Wa Nepalbhasa, a collaborative work by six authors, including Rabin Gopal Baidya and Sahana Shrestha, and Yala Na Sanaguthi by Baburam Maharjan were jointly released by Lalitpur Metropolitan City Mayor Chiri Babu Maharjan, Head of the Central Department of Nepalbhasa Dr Bajramuni Bajracharya, Janamat Publications Editor Mohan Duwal, Ward No. 7 Chairperson Kul Bahadur Maharjan and spokesperson Raju Maharjan, among others.
Speaking as the chief guest, Mayor Maharjan said there was a need to include intangible cultural heritage on the relevant heritage list. He added that the traditional Newari delicacy yomari had been presented to the Nepalese Embassy in Paris on March 30 for recognition as a distinctive Newari dish and that a UNESCO announcement was awaited.
Special guest Dr Bajracharya said culture was closely linked to philosophy and that guthi (traditional community-based organisations) played a more significant role during times of death and hardship than at birth. He pledged that the Yala Study Centre and the Central Department of Nepalbhasa would work together in the future.
Spokesperson Maharjan said the state itself should take responsibility for preserving language and culture.
