Nepal, Central Region, Bagmati Zone, Buran Jya: During the Malla Regime, Bhaktapur waged a war with Tibet. Tibetians on their victory spree came to defeat Bhaktapur. The Malla kings were scared and advised all country men to dump all the rice in store under the earth so that the Tibetians could not take them away. After many days of war, the Tibetians fled. Everyone was worried about feeding the people because all the rice had been dumped. The king advised the people to go and check the dumped rice. The rice had turned dark brown and it was not to be eatable or not. On trying it out they found that the rice had grown more delicious and nutritious. Celebrating this occasion, every year farmers in Bhaktapur prepare this brown rice and bring them home in a joyous manner. This process is known as ‘Buran Jya’. (1/8) Venue: 6th Bhaktapur Night 2006
