They have their own language sounding more Chinese than Nepali with their own script too. My wife, Champa, is a Newar.
Champaβs family home, Ason, Kathmandu.
This Paubha is hung in the hall of our home; it is 90cm x 70cm painted on silk and framed behind glass. It was stretched, tied to a frame, and preserved as soon as we received it.
