Tamagi Museum and Learning Centre (TMLC) is gearing up for its ceremonial opening set for Falgun 17, 2081 (March 1, 2025). Our Founder and Chairperson, Mr. Hem Bahadur Gurung, recently arrived from Norway, has been joined in Tamagi by Mr. Sundar Gurung (TMLC SC Member) for this event. The Enlightenment Stupa has been repainted, the stage (Manch) for opening ceremonies is currently under construction, and various other preparations are proceeding on schedule.
The opening ceremony will be attended by guests from the local community as well as visitors arriving in Tamagi for the one-day event. The Hon. Dupseng Rinpoche has accepted an invitation to attend the ceremonies as Chief Guest and agreed to perform a Buddhist Darshan Puja for the Enlightenment Stupa of Tamagi. Friends and supporters from Norway are also scheduled to arrive in Tamagi for the opening and will extend their visit in order to continue their work on TMLC’s exhibits and services.
The first part of the programme – a Puja at the Enlightenment Stupa starting at 08.00 and ending around 11.30 – will be followed by the official inauguration and opening of TMLC at 12.45. All invited guests and visitors will be served breakfast and a vegetarian lunch in the TMLC Chautari on museum grounds. Mothers Group of Talibarang (Deurali) will be responsible for the preparation and distribution of breakfast and lunch at this event.
A ceremonial ribbon cutting by the Chief Guest followed by socializing and entertainment provided by Panche baaja, a local orchestra, will conclude this festive occasion. TMLC staff, management and supporters are eager to welcome guests on Falgun 17, and look forward to opening museum doors to visitors (young and old) curious about their cultural identity for years to come. You are cordially invited to take part in the festivities and support the work of the Tamagi Museum and Learning Research Trust!
