Nepal has a lot more tunes and rhythms of its own to share with the rest of the world and Nepalese musical instrument like this one (Dhime) in the picture above has a very strong relationship with Nepalese culture and religion. Dhime is the most common musical instruments amongst the Newars of Kathmandu Valley and played in almost all festivity, ceremonial occasions.
