Nepalese Cultural Evening

NeST organizes Nepalese Cultural Evening program every year in Spring. The main motive behind the program is to introduce Nepal, its culture, and typical Nepalese food to non-Nepalese. The tradition has been going on since 2008 and getting popular each year.[2][3][4][5][6] The Program starts with a small exhibition of items imported from and representing Nepal. The main program usually lasts for one and half hour to two hours in which cultural dance, musical performances, theatrical acts, documentaries and quiz games are conducted. The final and the most popular part of the program is the dinner where typical Nepalese cuisines are served along with typical Nepalese desserts.
