I recently visited Mt. Gambier for a special purpose. My wife's brother and sister-in-law are about to welcome their newborn. On this special occasion, our sister wished to celebrate in a traditional style, in keeping with the roots of our culture. We planned to make her dream come true. So, I became the photographer and assisted my wife with the decoration.

Their home was already filled with different cultural artifacts, including the statues of gods. We decided to use the window frame, which would affect a few photos, but would be worth it. Initially, we finished up with what we had and added red and white clothes from the Spotlight.

The Occasion:
Dahi-Chiura

In Nepali tradition, a baby shower is rooted in cultural heritage and is celebrated by feeding a little paste of a bit of curd and beaten rice. (Dahi: Curd, Chiura: Beaten Rice). This is not a gender reveal, but it is done around the 6th month of pregnancy, as yogurt and beaten rice have been considered a healthy diet for a long time.

As per the sister's wishes, we added an essence of a cultural power that surrounds and fills the heart, bringing nuances of roots to the lifestyle. Our sister may have been looking for something similar. While we offered our gifts and blessings, she cried. It was a moment to realize how relationships and family make everything together in place filled with love, and one in this world.

A beautiful share of cultural heritage in Hive. Hope you enjoyed reading my blog.
I will see you again with the next story of my life.

I got to visit Nepal way back in the 1980s Kathmandu and Pokerra. I also remember catching a bus down into India! Such good backpacking memories. @consciouscat we should try to visit Nepal!

Those times must have felt great, and I have heard so much about that era. You should definitely come to Nepal again, now that you have your other half's approval. :D
October-November is the best time to be in Nepal.
