The fourth Tihar Flora Expo 2083 opened on Tuesday, November 3, at Bhrikutimandap in Kathmandu, bringing together nurseries focused on flowers, fruit, agriculture, forestry and herbs. Minister for Agriculture, Forest and Environment Geeta Chaudhary inaugurated the exhibition, organised by the Nursery Entrepreneurs Association Nepal. Running through Kartik 21, the expo is being held under the slogan “Tihar’s celebration, flowers’ festival.”
A broad gathering of nurseries
The expo brings together several kinds of nurseries in one exhibition, spanning flowers, fruit, agriculture, forest and herbal plants. Its range gives the event a wider focus than flowers alone, while its Tihar-themed slogan places flowers at the centre of the celebration. The organisers have framed the gathering around the seasonal festival and the plants and nursery sectors represented at Bhrikutimandap.
The participation of nurseries across these fields is a defining feature of the fourth edition. Visitors to the exhibition can find the different categories represented under one roof, rather than at separate events. The summary of the expo identifies the participating sectors but does not specify the number of nurseries, exhibitors or individual varieties on display.
The name and slogan connect the exhibition with Tihar, while the range of participating nurseries also brings agriculture, forest and herbal plants into the programme. The event therefore serves as a public showcase for multiple nursery areas during the festival period. No further details were provided about particular exhibits, sales arrangements or accompanying activities.
Minister inaugurates the exhibition
Agriculture, Forest and Environment Minister Geeta Chaudhary formally inaugurated the expo on Tuesday. The event is organised by the Nursery Entrepreneurs Association Nepal, which is hosting the fourth edition at Bhrikutimandap. The opening brings the exhibition back to the Kathmandu venue as a gathering of nursery enterprises and plant-related sectors.
The expo is scheduled to continue until Kartik 21. Its stated closing date gives visitors and participating nurseries a defined period for the exhibition, though details such as daily opening hours, entry fees and the exact closing time have not been specified. The organisers’ slogan, “Tihar’s celebration, flowers’ festival,” gives the event its central theme for this year’s edition.
Tihar theme and exhibition scope
Flowers are the focus of the expo’s name and message, but the gathering includes a wider selection of nursery categories. Fruit, agriculture, forest and herbal nurseries are also represented, linking the event to several areas of plant cultivation. The format brings these fields together as part of a single Tihar-season exhibition in Kathmandu.
The fourth edition’s opening marks the start of the event’s run through Kartik 21. Beyond the opening, organiser, venue, participating sectors and slogan, further programme details have not been announced in the information provided. The exhibition’s central offer remains the opportunity to see the participating nursery sectors brought together at Bhrikutimandap under a shared Tihar theme.
