NEPAL — It’s a wedding band — not the kind you might think: Band members of Shrijanshil Mahila Sanstha, or the Self-Reliant Women’s Group, stand for a photograph before they prepare to play at a wedding in Kathmandu, Nepal, on Wednesday, March 6, 2024. Once associated only with men from the Damai community, part of the lowest caste, these nine women have come together to play the Naumati Baja, or nine traditional instruments.
