About this Manuscript

This popular Nepali Hindu textual tradition deals with Hindu rituals (vratas) and narrates stories of Pārvatī and Śiva. According to scholars, it is believed that the origin of the text lies in a 16th-century eight-folio palm-leaf manuscript that describes the local legend of the origin of the Svasthānī vrata. (The Svasthani Vrata Katha Tradition Translating Self, Place, and Identity in Hindu Nepal, essica Lynn Vantine Birkenholtz, p.4).The text is written in Newari.
