History Of Nepal |
Nepal carries long history of
civilization, culture, tradition, politics and
heritage. Even Kathmandu valley was thought to
be under the primordial lake. Its early History
rested in legend and myths. However; it was
definitely inhabited long before 7 or 8 BC. from
where starts the political history of the
country.
The country that remained divided for centuries
got a chance to merge into one creating a
unified Nepal lying in the lap of the mighty
Himalayas after the energetic work of
Unification by Prithivi Narayan Shah of Gorkha
in 1768 AD. It had been a tough task as the
people were divided not only politically but the
ethnicity, culture, tradition, heritage and way
of life. The process of unification was started
from Gorkha in 1745 AD. Many worthy sons of this
country added their service to the pious work of
unification and the fragrance of the same has
been enjoyed by many since the unification.
Kathmandu, the present capital of Nepal was
governed by different dynasties. Kirati who came
from East & believed to be of the Mongolian
origin was the first as far as the establishment
of powerful kingdom is concerned. Then Licchavis
ruled the valley for long period who raised the
enthusiasm for arts and crafts in the heart of
the inhabitants and the examples of the same can
be seen embodied in the heart and soul of the
people living here. It was during the period of
the Licchavis, Araniko, the master of wood
carving went to China to spread the essence that
was born in Nepal in the form of Pagoda
architecture. After the downfall of the
Licchavis Mallas, Who came from the Indian
territories were the ones to give continuance of
the arts and crafts through the addition of more
temples and other structures. They brought all
the practices of Hindu religion and irrigated
with their own customs in the valley. Still it
is worthy to note that their influences can be
seen in each and every corners of this city and
also in the life of every person. Their love for
the art proved the model city till the date.
Now the country is divided into different
administrative regions and the country is
practicing the multiparty democracy after the
advent of Democracy in the year 1990 AD. |
