Our Newar priest should wear "Priestly Dress" when the priest engages in the rituals and ceremonies. This makes the ceremony more formal, and the priest gets more respect as well. The father of the girl should wear formal dress too.

This is GREAT but this Newar girl does not speak Newar language make me SAD & DISAPPOITED. All ritual is DONE in Khas Parbate language. Both Newar and Khas Parbate languages are NEPALI. How would we preserve our culture when we do not speak our own mother tongue: NepalBhasa/Newar language. Our language is the BEST tool to nurture the culture.
