About the Artist

Rebati Mandal (courtesy of Janakpur Women's Development Centre)

My parents could not afford to send me to school and I was married at the age of twelve. According to our culture I went to my husband’s house for one day but then I returned to my parent’s house to stay for another two years. When I went to apply to work at the Janakpur Women's Development Centre I received paper, paint and a pencil for a test painting. I had not had these things before in all my life. Now I even ride a bicycle and from the money I earn I can buy food. I have also met new friends there. My friends in my village do not know so much about the world I know.

Tihar, also known as Deepawali and Yamapanchak or Swanti, is a five-day Hindu festival celebrated in Nepal and Indian states of Sikkim and West Bengal, which host a large number of ethnic Nepali people. Tihar is analogous to the Indian festival of Diwali, the festival of lights, but with some significant differences. (excerpt from Wikipedia)
