It was an endeavor of the NRN-USA Oregon chapter to give Portlanders a glimpse of traditional ethnic attires of different Nepalese communities.
It was the first ever Nepalese ethnic fashion show in Portland participated by the Nepalese as well as Americans. Participants included Nepalese and Americans from age 10 to 60 years old. Sincere and collective efforts of NRN-USA Oregon chapter, fashion show coordinators, enthusiastic participants and volunteers are certainly very commendable and praiseworthy.
Quite fascinating and amazing were the American boys and girls wearing different attires of various ethnic communities of Nepal.
National anthems of Nepal and United States were played at the beginning of the ethnic fashion show.
On the occasion, coordinator of the ethnic fashion show Sita Rai wrapped Khada on chief guest Govind Giri Prerana, NRN-USA Oregon chapter president and noted taekwondo instructor Diwakar Maharjan, president of Nepali Association of Oregon Ganga Sharma and president of Nepaa Chhen Rajesh Maharjan.
