Episode 6: A Nepalese Buddhist Tantric Mini-Manuscript - An Overview
In this film, Bidur Bhattarai presents a Nepalese mini-manuscript that contains multiple texts relating to Buddhist tantrism. This is probably one of the smallest manuscripts in the collection of the Āśā Saphūkuthi (Āśā Archives), where preservation measures are currently being implemented. On the basis of palaeographical considerations, the manuscript was possibly produced in the 19th century.
