Nepalese People and Religion
People
Nepal has a population of 24 million people, who speak 70 different languages and belong to more than 40 different ethnic groups and live in different geographic regions. A large part of the population is made up of Brahmins (Bahuns) and Chhetris. Other diverse groups consist of Tamangs, Gurungs, Magars, Rais, Limbus, Sherpas, etc. who live mostly in the hilly and mountainous regions. Newars are concentrated in the Kathmandu valley but are also found in many other parts of the country. The Tharus predominate in the tarai (plains) where Danuwars, Darais and Rajbanshis also live. They are collectively known as the Madhesi. The peaceful co-existence of all ethnic groups altogether represents unity in diversity.
Religion
Religious practices are an important part of the lives of the Nepalese people. People from old aged to children from different walks of life go to neighbourhood temples in the morning and evening to offer worship and show their reverence to Gods and Goddesses.
Hinduism and Buddhism are two main religions in Nepal. They co-exist in an amazing harmony, often even overlapping as devotees lay offerings and pray at both Hindu and Buddhist shrines. Nepal being the birthplace of Lord Buddha, majority of the people here are of Hindu religion and the country encompasses many other religions like Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Islam etc.
