Religious People
Nepalese people are gentle in nature, they are all devout followers of religion, Hinduism is the state religion of Nepal, and religion occupies an important place in their lives.
Nepal has more than 30 ethnic groups, but from a broad perspective, there are two main categories, one is the Mongolian race belonging to the aboriginal people, in Nepal known as the mountainous country, they are mainly distributed in the mountainous areas of the southern slopes of the Himalayas; the second is the Aryans belonging to the South Asian region, the same kind of people as the Indians, are distributed in the plains of the southern part of Nepal. Though ethnically different, Nepalese are religious, with about 90% of them practicing Hinduism and the rest practicing Buddhism. Religion occupies an important place in the life of Nepali people. Early in the morning, people have to make a pilgrimage to the temples and dot their foreheads with dikkas, which symbolize the presence of God. In a year, more than 50 festivals are celebrated in Nepal, most of which are related to religion. Nepal is full of temples, both lofty and exquisite famous temples and such small street temples, it is said that in Kathmandu alone there are 3,000 Hindu temples, no wonder people say that Kathmandu is full of Gods and Buddhas. The unafraid monkeys in the temples and the pigeons in the Durbar Square all add to the peaceful atmosphere of the religion.
Contact with the Nepalese people, you can feel the tranquility of their soul, they are gentle and kind, contented, eat two meals a day, drink three courses of tea, and maintain a traditional way of life in a leisurely manner. They are accustomed to early to bed and early to rise, in Pokhara, we have to go to see the Annapurna snow mountain sunrise, four o'clock in the morning in the dark on the road, do not want to in front of our headlights, has been a person to person. I heard that Nepali people get up in the morning, to go to the temple to worship, to drink morning tea, to prepare for the day. By 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, the streets are closed. It is on Tamil Street in Kathmandu, where foreigners live, that businesses close at 9 o'clock.
