More than a year into the pandemic, the courts of Nepal have finally adopted e-technology for remote court hearing to ensure social distancing and comply with the injunction order issued by government and health authorities to reduce physical presence of lawyers, parties, judges and court officers in the court and aid in preventing the spread the COVID-19 virus.

The festival of Sithi Nakha, celebrated by the Newar Community of Nepal holds religious, environmental, pedagogical, and socio-anthropological significances. This festival encourages protection of architecture and water resources, and at the same time brings a sense of community and solidarity among Newar families. The article associates the festival to Durkheim’s “social fact”. However, despite being a social fact, the festival and knowledge associated with it are disappearing due to lack of collective effervescence. Our guest author, Mrs. Damayanti Nepal highlights the relevance of this festival in today’s alarming time of environment conservation and also puts efforts into the promotion of communal and indigenous knowledge in this regard.

Wishing you a happy, healthy, and prosperous year ahead!
