Valley / Nepal Mha PujaNext tentative Date: Available as a Private Trek on a date of your preference.
A deeply personal Newar ritual of self-honoring and family bonds. |
Mha Puja, meaning “worship of the self,” is a core part of Newar New Year (celebrated during Tihar) and reflects a profound philosophy of inner respect and community unity. Family members sit in a line as intricate mandalas are drawn before them, and each person is blessed with light, food, and symbolic offerings. It’s a deeply introspective and beautiful ceremony, rarely seen by tourists, that honors individual life and family connection through meaningful ritual.
