Our Mission & Vision

Founded with a vision to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of the Tharu community, the Tharu Cultural Museum in Chakhaura, Dang, Nepal, stands as a living archive of history, art, and tradition. We envision becoming a center of cultural pride—where the essence of Tharu identity is not only protected but also shared with the world through engaging experiences and education.

Our mission is to collect, safeguard, and showcase the unique artifacts, tools, artworks, and rituals of the Tharu people. Through immersive exhibitions, traditional performances, and storytelling led by the community, we aim to educate both local and global visitors. We are committed to ensuring that the legacy of the Tharu civilization remains alive, relevant, and a source of inspiration for generations to come.

We strive to educate visitors—both local and global—about the uniqueness of Tharu civilization through immersive exhibits, traditional performances, and community-led storytelling. Our mission is to ensure the legacy of the Tharu people continues to inspire future generations.
