"Nepal Remembered" presents a unique collection of previously unpublished historical images captured by Dirgha Man Chitrakar (1877–1951) and Ganesh Man Chitrakar (1916–1985). As official court artists and photographers to Nepal's reclusive Shah and Rana regimes, their work documented significant political, cultural, and social transformations over a century. Curated by their descendants, this volume offers an intimate, insider's view of a bygone era.
