Historical communication
Nepal is a country rich in traditions and cultures. The forms of modern communication are quiet recent and new compared to other countries and before the introduction of these modern forms, there were traditional ways for communicating with the people and the masses. These were also practiced during the time of various kings and rules in Nepal. Some of the popular traditional forms of communication in Nepal are:
Ghanti Bajaune, Jhyali pitane, Damaha Bajaune
are one of the oldest communications in practiced in Nepal, actually a form of mass communication in which a man beats a huge drum and call for the villagers to gather at the chowk. When everyone is gathered, the special announcement is made by another person who carries a letter and reads it out. It is usually done when an important announcement needs to be made.
Tago Gan (Big Bell) is historical technology of communication with the people. This big bell is supported by two stone pillars and has a tiled roof. King Rana Bahadur Shah and his queen Raj Rajeswori built it in 1797. The bell is rung only when worship is being offered in Degutaleju.
