Newari New Year Marked In Kathmandu
A band of members of the aboriginal Newa: community of Kathmandu dons traditional attire, plays musical instruments, and dances while marking ''Nepal Sambat'' - Newari New Year in Kathmandu, Nepal, on October 22, 2025. The Newa: community marks this day as New Year's Day, honoring the indigenous calendar of Nepal. Shankhadhar Sakhwa initiates the Nepal Sambat in 880 AD when he relieves the people from debt during the reign of Lichchhavi King Raghavdev. In recognition of his significant contribution, the government declares Sakhwa a national luminary on November 18, 1999. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
