Nepali Mela in the UK is a significant cultural event organized by the Tamu Dhee Association. It was first held in 2009 and has been an annual event since then. The Mela is a platform for the Nepalese community in the UK, particularly the Gurkha and other ethnic communities, to showcase their unique and colorful culture, traditions, and customs.
The event features various performances, including traditional dances and music, and it provides an opportunity for the wider British audience to experience the rich and diverse culture of Nepal. The Mela is also a celebration of the Nepalese community’s integration into British society.
The population of Nepalese in the UK is thought to be around 150,000, with many former Gurkhas and other Nepalese living in different parts of the UK. These communities aim to preserve their culture and pass it on to future generations.
