Religion is an integral and deep-rooted
part of Nepalese life. Nepal is only country
constitutionally declared Hindu state in the world, but
many religions are practice here. A remarkable feature
of Nepal is thus the religious homogeneity that exists,
particularly between the Buddhist and Hindu communities.
The rich cultural heritage of Nepal can be seen in the
diverse social customs and frequent socio-religious
festivals, which spill into the streets and squares of
the cities and villages. There is hardly a day or a
place where one can not see the celebration of some sort
of festival, however small. You can see that it has its
root in distant history. Percentages of religious are:
A. Hindu: 80%
B. Buddhist: 15%
C. Muslim 3%
D. Others: 2% |
