The vibrant orange hues of Thimi are calling!
Today, our volunteers joined the sea of orange in Thimi, Bhaktapur to celebrate the incredible Sindur Jatra! This festival is a true sensory explosion, marking the arrival of the Nepali New Year with traditional music, palanquin processions, and—of course—showers of orange vermilion powder (Sindur).
Seeing our volunteers fully immersed in the local traditions, covered in orange, and dancing alongside the community is what cultural exchange is all about. At VSN, we don't just want you to see Nepal; we want you to feel the heartbeat of its heritage.
A massive thank you to the people of Thimi for welcoming our volunteers with such open arms and vibrant energy. Happy New Year 2083 to all!
