Dileep Sharma Visual Artist

Unnati Cultural Village is a beautiful space to celebrate our rich culture and heritage. During my week-long stay surrounded by nature, I deeply enjoyed experiencing the Tharu culture. I was truly impressed by the hospitality, the food, and the peaceful environment. As a visual artist, I especially appreciated the well-lit studios, the natural materials available, and the opportunity to explore mediums like ceramics. I would love to visit again and hope to see a museum here soon with the largest cultural collection in Nepal. My best wishes to the entire team. Thank you!
