  DHAPLAN KHYAH DHAPLAN KHYAH by Pranab joshi @pranabphotoart Meet Dhaplan Khya, a mysterious and voracious creature, characterized by its imposing stature, dark and hairy exterior, and an insatiable appetite. This enigmatic being takes refuge in the shadowy corners of homes, favoring places like under the stairs or within the confines of the attic. Unveiling itself exclusively under the cloak of night, Dhaplan Khya is rumored to harbor an intense aversion to light. In the whimsical verses of a children's song, the narrative unfolds. As the sun sets and evening descends, Dhaplan Khya emerges from its hiding place, embarking on a quest for sustenance. Its unsettling hunger drives it to approach unsuspecting children, with an eerie melody accompanying its nocturnal journey. The creature, perpetually in search of a feast, makes its way through the dimly lit spaces where youngsters play. source: https://indigenouspeoplenet.wordpress.com/

  Legends of Panuti: God Indra disguised himself Gautam Rishi was attracted by the seductive beauty of Ahilya, the wife of Gautam Rishi. Gautam Rishi, a virtuous vedic sage, lived and meditated at the confluence of rivers in Panauti. Indra, the king of the gods, was attracted by the seductive beauty of Ahilya, the wife of Gautam Rishi. In order to seduce the charming young woman, Indra disguised himself as Ahilya’s husband and thus took advantage of her. Because of this involuntary blemish, Ahalya changed into a rock, which can be seen in the courtyard of the temple. When the sage discovered what had happened he put a spell on Indra, causing Indra’s body to become covered with yonis(female sexual organs). Naturally Indra was somehow put out by this. Indra and his wife Indrayani had met at this auspicious confluence of rivers. Eventually Parvati and Shiva took pity upon Indrayani and turned her into the third invisible river Padmavati that joins the two visible ones in Panauti. Years pa
