🎸 Himalayan Golden Guitar Award: A Resonance of Regeneration

 🪔 “जिबन रंगाउन गित संगीत, समाज सजाउन भरौ प्रित”

हराएको मुचुङा र बिर्सिएको बिनायो, सम्झी राखे माया मोह छाडिहिने भुलायो .
साराङी र एकतारे लेकै टुङ्ना बजायो, घरदैलो आगन खेत झिलिमिली सजायो.

🛕 A Festival Comes Full Circle

As the sacred wheels of the NawaDurga RathaYatra complete their nine-day journey across the spiritual spine of Nepal, we gather not to conclude—but to commemorate. This festival was not just a procession—it is a pilgrimage of purpose, a celebration of soil, soul, and society.

From Myanglung to Satabajh, each village center became a living altar, each day a chapter of cultural revival, and each participant a messenger of national pride.

🎶 Introducing the Himalayan Golden Guitar Award

To honor the musicians, storytellers, and cultural custodians who gave voice to this movement, we proudly present the Himalayan Golden Guitar Award—a symbol of:

• 🎼 Artistic Excellence rooted in Himalayan heritage
• 🌱 Cultural Regeneration through music and message
• 🤝 Communal Harmony across ethnic and regional lines
• 🕉️ Spiritual Resonance that uplifts the national soul

This award is not just a trophy—it is a call to continue, a melody of remembrance, and a promise to preserve.

🧘 Acharya Arjun Paudel says:

“Music is the language of the land. It carries our grief, our joy, our history, and our hope.

The Himalayan Golden Guitar is not gold because of its shine—it is golden because of its meaning. It honors those who sing for the soil, who play for the people, and who echo the eternal rhythm of Nepal.

Let this award be a seed of inspiration. Let every village have its own stage, every youth their own song, and every elder their own story.

As we close this RathaYatra, we open a new chapter—where culture is not consumed but cultivated.”
