The 46th Nepal Bhasa Literature Conference and cultural programme is being held today at Yatam, Gomari, in Bhaktapur Municipality-7, with notable public participation. Cultural guru and senior citizen Motibahadur Khayamali inaugurated the annual event this morning, and the programme is scheduled to continue into the night. Organisers are holding the conference under the slogan “Janata Banche Bhasa Banchha,” meaning “language survives if the people survive.”
Annual gathering in Bhaktapur
The conference brings together a literature gathering and a cultural programme at Yatam. Its 46th edition continues an annual event centred on Nepal Bhasa, with this year’s activities taking place in Bhaktapur. The public turnout has been notable, according to the event summary.
The slogan places people at the heart of the conference’s message about language. “Janata Banche Bhasa Banchha” links the survival of a language with the people who use and sustain it. The organisers have chosen the phrase as the guiding theme for this year’s gathering.
Inauguration and programme
Khayamali formally inaugurated the conference this morning. His role as a cultural guru and senior citizen was noted at the opening of the event. The programme is continuing through the day and into the night, bringing the literature conference and cultural activities together in one venue.
The conference is taking place at Yatam in Gomari, within Bhaktapur Municipality-7. The location gives the annual gathering a defined meeting point for participants and visitors in Bhaktapur. The event’s public participation has been a notable feature of the programme.
A focus on language and community
The conference’s name and slogan place Nepal Bhasa literature and the people connected to the language at the centre of the event. Rather than presenting language as separate from its speakers, the slogan frames the community as essential to its continuity. The programme combines that message with a cultural gathering, while the annual format provides a recurring occasion for the conference to take place.
With the inauguration completed, the 46th conference is continuing at Yatam through the evening. Its organisers have kept the focus on the relationship between people and language, expressed in the slogan “Janata Banche Bhasa Banchha.” The gathering is being held with notable public participation in Bhaktapur.
