Preserving Our Heritage, Inspiring the Next Generation 🎨

At Himalayan Nada, we believe that healing and heritage go hand in hand. Just as sound carries the wisdom of generations, so too does the sacred art of Paubha (Pauwa) painting — one of Nepal’s most treasured artistic traditions. That is why we are honored to support local children as they take their first steps into this timeless craft.

A Heartfelt Initiative at Thai Kirti Vihar

This special initiative is hosted by sound healer Mr. Nirgaman Maharjan, under the gracious guidance of our honorable monk, Bhante Sumanakitti. Together, they have created an opportunity for passionate young artists who are eager to preserve the rich cultural heritage of Nepal.

During a meaningful gathering at Thai Kirti Vihar, senior monks from Thailand gracefully handed over educational support to the participating children — a touching moment of community, compassion, and shared devotion to tradition.

Learning From a Master

The children are learning under the expert mentorship of celebrated master artist Jairam Maharjan, whose legendary Paubha artworks are displayed in national museums in Japan. With his guidance, these young learners are not only developing their artistic skills — they are becoming the next generation of guardians of Nepal’s grand artistic legacy.

Why Paubha Painting Matters

Paubha painting is more than art; it is a living expression of Nepal’s spiritual and cultural identity. Each brushstroke carries centuries of meaning, devotion, and craftsmanship. By nurturing young artists today, we help ensure that this sacred tradition continues to inspire for generations to come.

Harmonizing Tradition, Sound & Community

This initiative reflects the heart of everything we do at Himalayan Nada — bringing people together through tradition, sound, and community. We are proud to stand alongside these young artists, their mentors, and the monastic community in keeping Nepal’s heritage alive.
