On 24th June 2019, we went to the Jyapu Museum. The museum was about Newari people and their cultures and traditions. Newari clothes, jatras celebrated, utensils used and food consumed were displayed. We saw many new things. We learned how to make machindranath rath. It takes one month to construct it. We even learned about their festival like Mha puja, Bhai tika, etc. When a woman is pregnant, Dahi chiura is taken from her house to feed her. There were many musical instruments as well. There were different types of utensils made up of mud. In the Newari culture mud is called ‘Chha’. We clicked photos and enjoyed ourselves. We ate our snacks and returned to school.
