Reading from the neighborhood
Voice · Food
A field guide to Newari thali
Choila, bara, samay baji, juju dhau. The fifteen things on a Newari plate, and what they actually are.
Voice · CraftThe disappearing potters of Bhaktapur
Pottery Square has been making clay for 600 years. There are eight working families left. A short report on what's at stake.
Voice · NeighborhoodKirtipur, the city that gets skipped
Twenty minutes from Patan and somehow not on any tourist itinerary. A weird, layered hilltop Newari town, mostly intact.
Voice · FoodA short essay on juju dhau
Bhaktapur's "king of yoghurt" is more interesting than the postcard says. Earthen pots, century-old families, and why the texture is what it is.
