Festival reflecting way of life in Lalitpur
LALITPUR: Streets of Patan are filled with the smell of Newari dishes and flecked with sparkling colors of traditional costumes even as resounding melodies of folk songs take the visitors back to the historical days.
Lalitpur folks are overwhelmed these days as swarm of visitors throng Lalitpur festival that began on Thursday. The 86 toles, including Lakhel, Managlbazar, Yasoda Mahabihar Bubahal has been decorated in best possible ways.
Sannani Tuladhar, a resident of Lakhel, usually spins cotton on Charkha (spinning wheel). The lady, who is in her early 80s, has often been admired for her expertise by her children, but had never got an opportunity to show her skill to a huge mass. The Lalitpur Mahotsav has given the space to many such artisans who are unknown to the world but have been playing the most significant role to conserve primitive culture.
Lalitpur folks believe they are richer than Kathmandu and Bhaktapur in ways of life. But the locals feel that their effort of conserving the ancient tradition of Newar community hasn´t been appreciated much.
“Kathmandu and Bhaktapur are always in the limelight while we struggle to promote our ethnicity and culture,” says Ashok Maharjan, resident of Mikhabahal.
Mikabahal used to be the place of farmers in the ancient days. But currently, only a handful of people are involved in farming. Malls and supermarkets have been built at the cultivable land owned by his forefathers, he mentioned.
According to Mangal Maharjan, chairman of Jaypu Society of Lalitpur, the locals were asked to bring antiques whatever they have at home to exhibit in the festival. The rare image of God Indra has been displayed. Similarly, visitors can observe the demonstration of how handicrafts are prepared from wood, clay and various metals. The local women are seen making household items using straw and jute.
The exhibits also include idols of Hindu gods and goddesses. Artist Dharma Raj Shakya has built a 16 feet long statue of Lord Ganesha after six days of hard labor. The idol of Lord Buddha and a replica of Patan Gate are the center of attraction for visitors.
The nineteen organizations that came together to organize the event have spent Rs 30 million in the festival and expect to see 1 million visitors in a week, said Jyapu Society Chairperson Maharjan.
Visitors marvel at the pictures of early 20th century depicting the radiance of the ancient Kathmandu Valley when greenery was abound.
“I am mesmerized by these pictures of the Kathmandu Valley,” said Nyamgyal Sayaka of Bouddha. Sayaka belongs to the Sherpa community but she says she finds the Newari dish Bara, Chatamari and Samyebaji simply incomparable.
Meanwhile, the Lalitpur-based living goddess Kumari is busy throughout the day, offering blessings to the devotees. According to the Jyapu Society Chairman Mangal Maharjan, the Kumari goddess will stay at courtyard.
Though this year´s festival was organized after four years, the locals want to give continuity in the next years. Around 400,000 people have visited the festival till Saturday, the third day of the festival, according to the organizers. The festival will conclude on Wednesday.

In tune with Farhan Akhtar -To perform with Deep Purple in Kathmandu
Republica caught up with Farhan Akhtar for an interview. Excerpts:
How much of a Deep Purple fan are you? And how excited are you?
I’m a big fan of Deep Purple and I have been into their music since my teen years. We had this vinyl record, as I recall now, of the band’s album ‘Machine Head’ and I used to listen to that. I’m very excited to be sharing a stage with them in Kathmandu.
Are you excited to visit Nepal as well?
The last time I visited Nepal was in 1989, so I’m quite sure it has changed a lot. Also, the people love Deep Purple’s music and so do I. I’m already excited to visit Kathmandu and meet Deep Purple. This is like a dream come true for me.
What’s in the pipeline for you? What are you busy with at the moment?
I just finished shooting for ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ in Ladakh and I’m also working on this romantic comedy movie with Vidya Balan. A few projects and collaborations with other musicians are also in the pipeline. When I’m not working and busy, I just like to go sky diving (laughs).
How did the shooting for ‘Bhaag Milkha Bhaag’ in Ladakh go?
It was challenging to shoot in Ladakh. I’m extremely fortunate to be acting as Milkha Singh, a former Indian athlete. The shoot was an intense experience and had a lot of challenges. But as an actor, you want to take on new challenges and try something new. That’s just what I did.
Dil Chahta Hai was a turning point in your career and now whatever you do makes it to the news. How do you feel?
Frankly, I just feel old and I keep convincing myself that I’m not that old (laughs). Looking back 12 years to ‘Dil Chahata Hain’, it was an unplanned venture but definitely a dream come true for sure. It makes me so happy when people still say that they remember the film and that they can associate with it. As a director, I could not be more proud.
Are you planning to take on the director’s seat anytime soon?
Writing and directing are my first love and I will definitely do it. But one cannot push something and make it happen just because one loves it. It has to be the right story and the right script and everything should fall in the right place. May be that will happen soon, only time will tell.
You are a public figure and you’re surrounded with rumors and negative news. How do you deal with it?
I just don’t react. Thankfully I have not been involved in big scandals (smiles) but if the rumor or news has no truth in it, it will die its natural death. The best thing to do is not reacting.
You are a director, singer, lyricist, screen writer, actor, producer and television host. Not that there is much remaining but what else do you want to do in life?
I don’t want to have a bucket list of things I want to do or want to be. I think you have to work towards what you want in life. At the moment, I’m enjoying what I’m doing and I haven’t given a thought about what I want to do more.
