Newari Tradition

In the Newar community, there is a song for every occasion, and Yomari Punhi is one such celebration. This video features a song about Yomari.


About Yomari

Yomari, also called Yamari, is a beloved delicacy of the Newar community in Nepal. It is a steamed dumpling made with a rice flour outer shell and filled with sweet ingredients such as chaku (a type of molasses). Yomari holds great cultural significance and is a centerpiece of the Yomari Punhi festival.

The triangular shape of the Yomari is said to symbolize one half of the shadkona—a sacred symbol representing Saraswati and wisdom. The name "Yomari" originates from two Nepal Bhasa words:

  • Ya: meaning "to like"

  • Mari: meaning "delicacy"

Thus, Yomari translates to "a delicacy that is well-loved."


About This Video

I uploaded this video 7 years ago with the sole purpose of preserving and promoting Newar music and culture for future generations. Over the years, I have uploaded various Newar songs to my channel. Unfortunately, many faced copyright issues. However, this song remains one of the few I was able to protect.

I have no intention of claiming copyright over this song. You are free to use it as you wish, though I kindly request you credit my channel if possible. My goal is to share our rich Newar heritage with the world.

The more we share and upload, the more people will learn about our unique traditions.

Lyrics: Yomari Song

(Researched by Avinash Dangol – If there are any mistakes, please let me know. Thank you!)

Jimi aji beugu, Yomari Maku
Nhuga syana beugu, naya soya faku
Yomari Maku,
Ukedune haku.

Wah pasa, wawa sakale wah,
Chekha pati, Yomari fowane wah.

Wah pasa, wah wah, sakale wah,
Chekha pati, Yomari fowane wah.

Tya chi tya, waka chi tya,
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.

Jhyaley chona, soya choma, jimi pasa cha,
Mhiga mhiga mheta, jimi guli kasa cha.

Jhyaley chona, soya choma, jimi pasa cha,
Mhiga mhiga mheta, jimi guli kasa cha.

Thula pakka, mhite makhu, chaye yakacha,
Jita yama pasa jaka, ma yau ba yau ka.

Hare pasa, ha ha, sakale ha,
Tale chupi aju ajee, matatale haa.

Hare pasa, ha ha, sakale ha,
Tale chupi aju ajee, matatale haa.

Tya chi tya, waka chi tya,
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.

Waka mana guli pathi, kuthi dyane du,
Loja mari Yomari, ukedune du.

Ulijaka makhu dhyaya, meh meh guna du,
Jita bankya khuwale, dhyanga pyakha hule nu.

Hare pasa, ha ha, sakale ha,
Tale chupi aju ajee, matatale haa.

Hare pasa, ha ha, sakale ha,
Tale chupi aju ajee, matatale haa.

Tya chi tya, waka chi tya,
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.

Jimi aji beugu, Yomari Maku,
Nhuga syana beugu, naya soya faku.

Yomari Maku,
Ukedune haku.
Yomari Maku,
Ukedune haku.

Wah pasa, wawa sakale wah,
Chekha pati, Yomari fowane wah.

Wah pasa, wah wah, sakale wah,
Chekha pati, Yomari fowane wah.

Tya chi tya, waka chi tya,
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya.
Lata pata gulicha, ju chi tya
