The Sunuwar community is a community of Kirant people living in East and Central Nepal. Like many Kirant communities, they celebrate the two major festivals of Undhauli and Umbhauli, which they call 'Syandar Pindar'. This is a time to remember and worship ancestors and nature. The festivals are deeply linked with nature, agriculture and nomadic pastoral lifestyle: Umbhauli is celebrated when the animals are taken up or Umbho to the mountains to pasture, and Umbhauli when the animals come down or Undho to the foothills. The episode contains some of the music played at this time, and conversations about the festival, its links with nature, and the gradual marginalization of this lifestyle by the state.
