"हुन त भक्तपुरको अर्को ३६५ दिने शृंखला गर्‍यो भने थप सामग्री भेटिन्छन्। तर त्यो ऊर्जा र पागलपन अब मसँग छैन। त्यसैले अर्को ३६५ दिने यात्रा चाहिँ गर्दिनँ होला!"

धेरै दुःखद खबर, सबैलाई — श्री ङतभुलु (नरदेवी) अजिमाको १२ बर्षे दिव्य नाच अन्तर्गतको भक्तपुरमा हुन लागेको नाच प्रदर्शन अस्थायी रूपमा स्थगित भएको छ।

यस पवित्र कार्यक्रमको दोस्रो दिन, अर्थात कार्तिक १९ गते (पूर्णिमा)को दिन, भक्तपुरको तान्त्रिक देवी श्री नवदुर्गा भवानी गणको पनि भक्तपुर दरबार क्षेत्रको श्री तलेजु भवानी मन्दिरमा पूजाआजा गर्नुपर्ने र परम्परागत रूपमा, दुई तान्त्रिक देवी/देवता वा गणहरु एउटै स्थानमा भेट हुनु उचित नमान्नुको कारणले यो कार्यक्रम स्थगित गरिएको हो।

हामी आशा गर्छौं कि हामी भक्तपुर वासिहरुले यो दिव्य नाच चाँडै हेर्न पाओस्।

श्री ङतभुलु अजिमा र श्री नवदुर्गा भवानीले सबैको रक्षा गरुन र सबैको कल्याण होस्।

Very sad news, everyone — this divine event has been postponed.

On the very 2nd day of this event, i.e. on 19th of Kartik (Purnima), the ta***ic goddesses Shree Navadurga Bhawani Gan of Bhaktapur are also supposed to perform rituals at Shree Taleju Bhawani Temple in Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

And traditionally, two ta***ic deities (or groups of deities) are not supposed to face each other or meet in the same space, and this is why the event has been postponed.

We hope this event will be rescheduled very soon.

This is the second series of Know Bhaktapur — a guided heritage walk designed to help people connect with the many layers of this historic city. During the walk, we’ll trace the history of Bhaktapur, explore its ancient urban planning, discover elements of ancient trade routes, and uncover hidden gems. Along the way, we’ll also share conversations about the communities, people, and rulers — past and present — who have shaped and continue shaping Bhaktapur into the vibrant city it is today.

This won't be just a walk through the streets, but a way to connect with the stories and wonders that Bhaktapur has held, still holds, and will continue to carry forward.

Know Bhaktapur Ep 01:

It has been a beautiful walk with these amazing people.

Thank you to everyone who participated. I’m so glad I got to share the insights I carry with you all. I hope this walk has sparked a curiosity within you, inspiring you to look at your surroundings with curious eyes and explore the stories they hold.

This guided walk has been a journey through Bhaktapur’s living heritage — from ancient shrines and sacred riverbanks to medieval city gate, from narrow alleys and hidden courtyards to bustling squares, deities’ houses, and centuries-old trade routes. Along the way, we had conversations about how people and leaders, past and present, have shaped — and continue shaping — Bhaktapur into the vibrant city it is today.

I had waited to share this post because of the recent chaos in the nation, feeling it wasn’t the right time. Now that things have relatively calmed down, I’m happy to finally share this moment with you all.

A big thank you as well to everyone who helped make this walk possible, whether by sharing the word on social media or in person. I’m deeply grateful to you all. ❤️

With this, registration for the next walk is now open! DM for registration.

Quick updates regarding the situation at Bhaktapur Durbar Square:

1. Nepal Army personnel have been deployed in Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

2. Fire brigades have been deployed there.

3. The video circulating about Falcha being burnt is not accurate — the fire actually broke out near the CDO office, in the northern and northeastern part of Bhaktapur Durbar Square.

With the army deployed, it seems the situation is gradually coming under control.

🙏 May Shree Taleju Bhavani continue to protect the palace complex and all of us. Thankfully, no major heritage structures have been seriously harmed. A heartfelt thanks to the divine herself.

And thank you to everyone who has been sharing updates, showing concern, and expressing anxiety, pain, frustration and anger — it reflects the love we all hold for our heritage.

Please continue to stay safe, alert, and supportive of one another.
