Ethnobotanical studies in central Nepal: The ceremonial plant-foods

  • Bhattarai, N. K.
  • Summary
Plants have always been an inevitable part of the life and culture of the Nepalese people. Hence it is but natural that all aspects of the Nepalese folk-life and beliefs have sufficient narration about plants and their parts. The ceremonial plant-foods of the Nepalese people are an example of their strong commitment to conserve this rich tradition. The present paper is an attempt to record the common religious and traditional ceremonies that are also meant for the consumption of particular plant foods in central Nepal.
