Gandharva song & its importance


Every person & the religions have their own importance in their country. Nepal is full of multi- caste, multi- lingual & multi- religious people.  In the past, there were not the facilities of postal networks, telephones, radios and televisions for the communication. The gandharvas used to spread the news on the basis of their song. Gandharvas were taken to the war for singing the glory or the bravery of martyrs & the Rulers.   
King Prithvi Narayan Shah, who unified the various scattered kingdoms to form the Kingdom of Nepal, employed Gandharvas to sing the glory of the Shah Dynasty. They were used as a means of propaganda during the unification period and were sent to villages to sing in favors of a unified Nepal.
The importance of gandharva in the unification of Nepal is great. So we do not forget the value of them.
