About 4 thousand security personnel. 100s of local companies, organisations, and communities mobilise more than 20 thousand volunteers during the celebration.
Holi is known as the Festival of Colors. It is one of Nepal's most joyful and exuberant celebrations, symbolizing the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil. This vibrant festival is marked by the playful throwing of color and water, uniting people from all walks of life in a spirit of joy and camaraderie.
Holi also embraces the use of hemp (Bhang/भाङ), which is traditionally consumed in various forms usually in a milkshake or infused with traditional sweets/desserts , enhancing the festive atmosphere and fostering a sense of community and togetherness.
Nepal has a rich heritage and tradition of cannabis practices for centuries, which can serve as a valuable resource for interdisciplinary research and innovation in the field. Additionally, Nepal has several advantages that make it well-suited for leading and promoting research and innovation in this area:
A country's brand refers to the reputation and image that the country has in the eyes of the world. This reputation can be shaped by a variety of factors, including economic stability, political stability, cultural heritage, natural resources, and more.
In the context of Nepal, the country's brand can be associated with its natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The country is known for its breathtaking mountain ranges, including Mount Everest, and its many temples and shrines, which are important pilgrimage sites for many Hindu and Buddhist devotees. Nepal is also well-known for its rich history and cultural heritage, which includes many traditional art forms and handicrafts.
Additionally, the brand of Nepal can be associated with the image of a peaceful, spiritual and friendly nation, which makes the country an attractive destination for travelers and trekkers, who come to experience the natural and cultural wonders of the country.
The government of Nepal is actively working to establish the country as a hub for agriculture. In addition to this, Nepal should also explore the potential of cannabis as a sustainable and environmentally friendly material source with a lot of medical properties yet to be researched. This approach has the potential to not only enhance Nepal's reputation as a responsible and environmentally conscious nation, but also drive economic growth within the country.
However, it's worth noting that a country's brand is a constantly evolving concept and it takes time and effort to establish a strong and recognizable brand for any country. Nepal, like any other country, still has many challenges to face to establish its brand and to promote it globally, however, by focusing on its strengths and embracing the idea of "From heritage to innovation" Nepal has potentials to establish a brand that will make it stand out in the global market.
