An exhibition of historical photographs by Dirgha Man Chitrakar and Ganesh Man Chitrakar took place on September 1, 2022, at Lal Durbar, Hotel Yak and Yeti.
Chitrakar and their family organized the exhibition to display the previously unpublished collection of pictures from 1877 to 1951.
They discussed how the pictures developed from the constrictive Rana era, when only a select few had access to the outside world and photography, to the post-Rana age, when photography changed in both the private and public spheres.
It illustrates how the government, non-governmental organizations, and the general people used photography to present a story of national progress. These photographs document the transition from portraits and political pomp to images of development, the land, and the people.
