Gunla Bajan
Gunlā Bājan () is devotional music played by the Newars of Nepal.〔 Page 111.〕 "Gunla" is the name of the tenth month in the Nepal Sambat calendar, which corresponds to August, and "bajan" means music and also music playing group.〔 Page 328.〕
Gunla is a holy month for Newar Buddhists when they recite the scriptures and visit places of worship playing devotional music. The practice of observing the sacred month is descended from the rains retreat dating from the Buddha's time when monks stayed in one place and taught the Dharma.〔LeVine, Sarah and Gellner, David N. (2005) ''Rebuilding Buddhism: The Theravada Movement in Twentieth-Century Nepal.'' Harvard University Press. ISBN 978-0-674-01908-9. Page 64. Retrieved 5 January 2012.〕
==Performances==
Societies based on locality or caste, in which membership is hereditary, organize Gunla Bajan performances. These groups follow an annual calendar of public performances. They also conduct music lessons and hold religious festivals, hymn singing sessions and feasts.
The most important activity of the year is making daily pilgrimages during Gunla to Swayambhu and other Buddhist sites playing Gunla music. The main days during the holy month are Bahidyah Swahwanegu (बहीद्यः स्वःवनेगु), when devotees playing Gunla music visit sacred courtyards to view the images of Bahidyah (Dipankara Buddha) and paubha paintings put on display for the festival;〔Locke, John Kerr (1985) ''Buddhist Monasteries of Nepal: A Survey of the Bahas and Bahis of the Kathmandu Valley.'' Kathmandu: Sahayogi Press. Page 408.〕 and Nisala Chhawanegu (निसला छा:वनेगु), when offerings are made to Swayambhu and concerts are held at one's neighborhoods. Gunla musical bands also lead processions during New Year's Day of Nepal Sambat.
