the nepalese people are religious-minded and god-fearing.it is evident from the temples and monasteries found all over the country.they have been following one religion or another since the very beginning.during the kirant regin,they worshipped kiranteshwar mahadev.hinduism was introduced during the lichchhavi period.parallel to hinduism there was buddhism.the interim constitution of nepal 2063B.S.has recognized nepal as a secular state.we dont have any particular state religion.all religions are equally important.the civil and political programmes as well as the decisions of the goverment should not be influenced by any particular religion.there is freedom of religion in nepal.one can follow religion of one's faith.followers of each religion can celebrate their religious festivals and perform rites and rituals.there is no interference from the state.what is forbidden in the matter of religion is that there can be no forceful conversion from one religion to another religion.followers of all religions are equal in the eye of law.
