Culture allows us to learn and develop as people. Culture is the way we live, the way we think is right for betterment of us and it is the learning process, learning from the world through self-consciousness. The major attraction of my project includes traditional architecture of Sunsari i.e., vernacular materials and technology of ethnic group ‘Tharu’. The center will be developed in a Tharu Architecture concept with appropriate technology. It helps to promote internal tourism through local architecture of Sunsari that will be reflected in the center design. I am doing research on Tharu architecture, their culture, settlements, construction technology, arts and crafts, their life style, and all the things related to Tharu ethnic group which finally helps to promote local architecture of Sunsari in national level.
