Abstract

This field-based research explores various facts relating to religious beliefs, practices, and resulting living conditions prevalent among Tharu ethnic groups living in Nepal. The research reveals that the religious beliefs and practices adopted by Tharu people remain an inevitable component of their life cycle process and has significant bearing with their living conditions. While Tharu people uphold a strong faith on their religious beliefs and practices and perform various rituals to make their present identity more visible, they are living in subsistence farming for a long period of time and the economic conditions are less than promising as compared to other groups in the society.
