- Recording of puja music and explanation by Thomas Hassett side 1, 22 December 1965
- Date

- Creator
- Hassett, Thomas J.
- Description
- From start until about 12:15, the tape is of singing, music, and street sounds (musical instruments including horns, drums, bells and faint voices). Thomas Hassett then describes this as puja music recorded at a famous temple about 5 hrs walk from Gurkha. There then followed a ceremony where they sacrificed a goat. He describes a celebration of some kind, with dancing, skits, etc. And he explains how in general, the King is symbol of national unity; there are lots of different groups and many languages spoken in the country, information is slow, and transportation by foot in most places.
