World Calligraphy Day
Exclusive audio
What is calligraphy?
Calligraphy is a visual art related to writing and is the design and execution of lettering with a pen, ink brush, or other writing instrument. Contemporary calligraphic practice can be defined as "the art of giving form to signs in an expressive, harmonious, and skillful manner".
Do you know?
Hamro Patro's founder, Shankar Upreti, founded Hamro Patro with his intense desire to see Nepali fonts inside the computer and digital screen. Even now Nepali fonts in Unicode like Anand, Mangal etc. fonts are first designed with paint or brush and prepared digitally.
Impact of calligraphy in society
Calligraphy comes as an art form that gives advantages in the shape of manual or analog practices. The use of pen, technique, and style not only adds nostalgia. But also improve one mentally, skill, confidence, memory, and many more. Calligraphy stimulates neuronal activity, helping us to develop a broader vocabulary and write texts that are more comprehensive. Our haptic perception becomes more acute, increasing the tactile experiences we lose when typing on mobile and electronic devices.In countries like China, Japan and Korea, even today, calligraphy is considered as the supreme art.
In Nepal, several groups and organizations have been actively promoting calligraphy, particularly the traditional scripts of the country. Some of the notable groups include: Callijatra, Calligraphy Nepal, Nepal Lipi Guthi.
Callijatra:
Callijatra is a dynamic youth group dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich calligraphy culture of Nepal. Focused on the revival and education of traditional scripts like Ranjana, Prachalit Nepal Lipi, Bhujinmol, Devanagari and others, Callijatra plays a vital role in keeping these ancient writing styles alive. Through workshops, exhibitions, and community outreach, they emphasize the importance of calligraphy not just as an art form, but as a crucial part of Nepal's cultural heritage. By reconnecting modern generations with these traditional scripts, Callijatra ensures that the beauty and history of Nepali calligraphy continue to inspire and thrive.
Ananda K. Maharjan, Designer / Founder of Callijatra, shares his thoughts: "Nepal has a wealth of beautiful and unique calligraphic scripts. Our community has contributed significantly to the art of calligraphy, and it's crucial to preserve and promote this cultural heritage. Ranjana script, in particular, is exceptionally beautiful. We are proud to have developed the 'Nithya Ranjana' font in collaboration with India's Ekype, which has won prestigious international design awards like D&AD Yellow Pencil award and TDC Excellence Award. This is a proud achievement for Nepal."
Gunla Parwa Arambha
गुंलापर्व आरम्भ
Exclusive audio
Welcome to the Gunla Parwa of Gunla Month in Nepal Sambat
During this Gunla month, the Gunla festival is celebrated exclusively in the Newa community and in some places where the Newa community is predominant, including the Kathmandu Valley.
Background of Gunla Parwa
The celebration of this festival is found to be more spiritual and contemplative in the Buddhist families of the community. Since Lord Buddha and his followers lived in the same place without traveling during the rainy season, this festival is also considered as a confluence of rain and knowledge. Especially in the Gunla festival celebrated by the Newar community, there is a tradition of going to see Lord Swayambhu in the morning. Today, special music can be heard at the crossroads of the Kathmandu Valley, while the number of devotees visiting various monasteries, temples, and spiritual places is high.
The Buddhist way is a philosophy advocating balance where spirituality, including charity and peace, is highly valued. The statues of Dipankar Buddha and Pauva are special on this day, although Gunla is not just a one-day festival. This festival is celebrated in different ways on different dates of the lunar tithis.
Let's draw the outlines of our daily routine in the open sky and clear clouds that come with the end of the rainy season. Good luck to all.
Bahidya: Swavanegu Newa:
Bahidya: Swavanegu Newa: is a unique part of the culture where there are instruments and music first and then devotees march. Such Jhankis can be seen in abundance in the Kathmandu Valley. Dya: Thayegu is one of the special activities of today. Today, it is customary to make small stupas using raw black clay. In Kathmandu and Lalitpur, it is customary to carry a statue of Panjara, i.e. Buddha, and other saints, and khat (Chariot) representing God in the city, and to collect items such as rice, lentils from the community.
The Buddhist way is a philosophy advocating balance where spirituality, including charity and peace, is highly valued. The statues of Dipankar Buddha and Pauva are special on this day, although Gunla is not just a one-day festival. This festival is celebrated in different ways on different dates of the lunar tithis.
Let's draw the outlines of our daily routine in the open sky and clear clouds that come with the end of the rainy season. Good luck to all.
