‘Mana Pathi’ is an art installation that explores the heart of cultural heritage, featuring sculpted earthen pots representing essential aspects of measurement. The collection is a tribute to Nepali traditional units of measurement, Mano and Pathi, which represent the equivalent of 10 muthi and eight Mana respectively. The installation also features two other traditional utensils, Golpa and Taukhola, symbolizing the fusion of spiritual reverence and practical utility in ancient Nepali culture. The art installation serves a critical purpose of preservation, reminding viewers to measure themselves against the values, respect, and love they hold for their roots. ‘Mana Pathi’ is more than an exhibition; it’s a call to honor our cultural lineage and celebrate the beauty of our heritage.
