Bania (Newar caste)
Bania (Devanagari: बनिया) is a Nepalese caste from the Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. The name ''Bania'' is derived from the Sanskrit word ''vanijya'' (merchant); by preference, Newar Banias anglicise their name as Bania rather than Baniya in order to distinguish themselves from the Indo-Nepali trading caste.
Banias belong to the Urāy group which includes Tuladhar, Kansakar, Tamrakar, Sthapit, Sindurakar, Selalik and other castes. They speak Nepal Bhasa as a mother tongue and follow Newar Buddhism.
==Traditional occupation==
According to the division of labour laid down from the past, Banias are herbalists and wholesalers of raw materials for Newar, Tibetan and Āyurvedic traditional medicines.〔 Page 110.〕 Traditional Bania neighborhoods in Kathmandu are Itum Bahal and Bania Chuka where the streets are lined with herbal shops.〔Tuladhar, Suman Kamal (coordinator) (2012) ''Udaaya Research.''
