NARAYANGADH, Jan 16: Religious folks from Chitwan and beyond gather by the Narayani River to take holy bath on the 1st day of Magh, as part of the Maghe Sankranti religious custom. But for music lovers in Narayangadh, Narayani river bank became a venue for pilgrimage on a different note.
The western banks of Narayani River towards Nawalparasi district was busy with pilgrims bathing through the day. As the sun set over the Narayani river, the eastern bank of the river started to see influx of people for the Nepathya concert. An area of about 50,000 square feet by the river bank was cordoned off for the concert to host around 7000 spectators. The capacity crowd at the venue was consistently swaying, jumping, dancing, shouting and singing along with Nepathya.
