Rotating Cat

Image created by Pech Misfortune, via Mighty Optical Illusions 
A variation on a classic illusion, this cat can be perceived as rotating in either direction. With practice, you can make it switch at will! Look at the image and blink your eyes couple times or look away from it for couple seconds and look it back.

Newar Music

E-mail Print PDF

The Newars are very much rich in traditional, classical and folk music as in dances. Various music and dance events take place in different parts of Newar societies on the occasion of different festivals. In fact, the Newars are so duly intermixed with music and dances that not a single festival, feast or ceremony, 'from womb to tomb', passes without a music or music and dances.
