telecommunications service provider in
Nepal with 91.49% of the government share. The company was a

Kathmandu. It has branches, exchanges and other offices in 184 locations within the country.

GSM mobile service. With more than 5,400 employees, it is one of the largest corporations in Nepal. It has a total of 262 telephone exchanges in various parts of the country, serving 603,291

The Seven Mother Goddesses (Matrikas) flanked by Shiva (left) and Ganesha (right)
Matrikas (
Sanskrit: मातृका (singular),
IAST: mātṝkā, lit. "mothers") also called Matar or Matri, are a group of mother
goddesses who are always depicted together in
Hinduism. The Matrikas are often depicted in a group of seven, the Saptamatrika(s) (Seven Mothers). However, they are also depicted as a group of eight, the Ashtamatrika(s). In the Brihat Samhita,
Varahamihira says that "Mothers are to be made with cognizance of (different major Hindu) gods corresponding to their names." They are associated with these gods as their spouses or their energies (Shaktis).
Brahmani emerged from
Brahma,
Vaishnavi from
Vishnu, Maheshvari from
Shiva,
Indrani from
Indra, Kaumari from
Kartikeya,
Varahi from
Varaha and
Chamunda from
Chandi. and additionals are
Narasimhi from
Narasimha and
Vinayaki from
Ganesha.
Originally believed to be a personification of the seven stars of the star cluster the
Pleiades, they became quite popular by the seventh century and a standard feature of goddess temples from the ninth century onwards. In
South India, Saptamatrika worship is prevalent whereas the Ashtamatrika are venerated in
Nepal, among other places. (Full article...)
Dhindo (
Nepali: ढिँडो[ɖʱĩɽo]ⓘ) is a meal prepared in
Nepal. It is prepared by gradually adding flour to boiling water while stirring. It is a staple meal in various parts of
Nepal, specially Tamangs in the Hilly Region of Nepal and the
Sikkim and
Darjeeling regions of
India. Though it is a staple food in Nepal, dhindo has previously been seen as an inferior food compared to rice, and was associated with low status. The inclusion of dhindo on urban restaurant menus has coincided with a rise in the food's prestige, possibly attributable to the changing perception of Nepal's indigenous crops, which are now recognized for their nutritional advantage.
