"Confluence of Festivals: Temple Town to the World" is not just a photobook, it is a cultural passport and visual pilgrimage into the heart of Nepal's timeless traditions, living heritage of Nepa Dey: Bhaktapur, Kathmandu, and Lalitpur: This immersive visual anthology documents a decade-long journey of visual storyteller Youbesh Dhaubhadel, capturing the vibrancy, spirituality, and identity of a handful of festivals celebrated in the cultural realm of Nepal.

This photobook is a testament of a tangible step towards intangible heritage preservation with Dhaubhadel's role as a storyteller; to let the world know about these festivals and preserve the culture from thinning and gradually fading away. His images follow processions, dancers, priests, and everyday participants as they navigate joy and grief, faith and fatigue, continuity and change.

A milestone of a lifelong exploration, this edition is the first of many to come.

A tribute to the Newah community and to all devotees, artists, performers, musicians, and volunteers who transform the streets into a sacred space: year after year, generation after generation. It is an open invitation: to see, to remember, and to join the festivals of the valley with humility and wonder.

Heartily welcome to Nepal to experience these festivals.
