Description

NAKHA DOCHAA pays tribute to the joyous style of celebrating festivals by the Newar Indigenous community by blending in Lawa fabric in its designs. The word “nakha” means “festival” in Nepal Bhasa or Newa language. Festivals like Indra Jatra, Bisket Jatra, Yomari Punhi, and others are characterized by elaborate processions, traditional music, dance, and the wearing of Lawa fabric garments. Once used primarily for everyday clothing, Lawa fabric has now become integral to various ceremonial attire.

Known for its subtle patterns and deep hues, this beautiful fabric not only showcases the craftsmanship of the Newar indigenous people but also celebrates a crucial aspect of their cultural identity in every special occasion. These celebrations not only underscore the profound customs and beliefs of the Newar community but also serve as vibrant reflections of their collective spirit and cultural legacy.
