पहिचान: The Saptariya Tharu Hub Saptari

Abstract

Culture represents the values and understandings that make us human. Unlike other living beings, we express ourselves, speak, communicate, live in societies, and seek knowl edge and meaning. This journey has led us to develop languages, customs, traditions, arts, crafts, music, science, and technology. Culture allows us to learn and grow, shaping how we live and think for our betterment. The "पहिचान : THE SAPTARIYA THARU HUB" is a suitable project for Nepal, as the Tharu are the native people of saptari and tourism is a key income source. A "THE SAPTARIYA THARU HUB" suggests a place that embodies the traditions and natural essence of the Tharu community. The center is located near the Tharu settlemets, making it easily accessible through the Tharu village.. T he main feature of the "पहिचान :THE SAPTARIYA THARU HUB" is that it will be de signed in the traditional Tharu architectural style, utilizing local materials and techniques from the Tharu ethnic group, predominantly found in the Saptari district of Madhesh Province, which has a higher saptariya Tharu population compared to other areas in the province. This approach will promote tourism and provide the nearby population with a community space to celebrate programs, promoting and preserving Tharu traditions and crafts. As a popular tourist destination, Saptari will offer a platform for Tharu culture to gain recognition both nationally and internationally.
