One Sentence Summary: The article attempts to record the common religious and traditional ceremonies that involve the consumption of particular plant-foods in central Nepal.

Description: The article attempts to record the common religious and traditional ceremonies that involve the consumption of particular plant-foods in central Nepal. Plants have always been an inevitable part of the life and culture of the Nepalese people. All aspects of the Nepalese folk-life and beliefs have narratives about plants and their parts. The ceremonial plant-foods of the Nepalese people are an example of their strong commitment to conserve this rich tradition. The article is based on a survey conducted in 15 districts in Nepal. The article includes a list of such plants and tries to trace back exactly why and how the plant-foods became associated with the rites. (Rajeev Ranjan Singh 2007-02-12)
