- In this film, Bidur Bhattarai presents a unique manuscript in the form of a vertical accordion, a thyāsaphū (‘folded book/manuscript’ in Newari/Nepalbhasa). The manuscript is in the possession of Dinesh Ram Shrestha and his family from Bhotahiti, Kathmandu. Comprising 19 folios, it is 466 cm long (when unfolded), 26.4 cm high (when closed), 64 cm wide, and 2.1 cm thick, making it one of the largest artefacts of its with such a writing support, written in Devanāgarī script, to be found in the Kathmandu Valley. Although the manuscript itself is not dated, the age of its present and previous owners – it has been kept in the family for three generations –, the handwriting, and other evidence suggest that it was produced in the 19th century. --- This preservation work is a collaborative effort of the CSMC and the Central Department of Nepalbhasa at Tribhuvan University. It is part of the project ‘Preserving the Written Cultural Heritage of Nepal’, which was generously supported by the German Foreign Office and the Gerda Henkel Foundation.
