In Nepal, the aakhi jhyal is the carved wooden “eye window” of an old Newari house. It's the window you lean out of to watch the street, call to a neighbour, and see the whole neighbourhood come alive.
Aakhi Jhyal Events is that window for the Nepali community in Palmerston North. We bring the laughter, music and gatherings of home to Aotearoa, so for one evening the city feels a little more like Kathmandu, Pokhara, or wherever home is for you.
हाँसोLaughterComedy nights with the voices you grew up with.
गीत र संगीतMusicMadal beats and songs that carry you home.
संस्कृतिCultureDhaka topi, daura-suruwal, the food and the stories we share.
समुदायCommunityFriends, families and newcomers, all under one roof.

धन्यवाद!
A special thanks to our team
This is the team who made the night happen. They gave their time, their weekends and a lot of heart, from setting up the hall to welcoming every guest, so that Nepali New Year 2083 felt like home for everyone in the room.
Thank you, every one of you. We couldn't have done it without you.
With love, Aakhi Jhyal Events
