Nepalis in Scotland Raise £400 for Aberdeen Hindu Temple Through Food Stall

Aberdeen (Scotland). Nepalis residing in Scotland have collected £400 in two hours by selling traditional Nepali dish Selroti to support the Aberdeen Hindu Temple.

Chandra Shrestha and Shruti Shrestha, residents of Aberdeen, collected the amount at the Aberdeen Food Fair held on Saturday by offering Nepali flavors.

The Shrestha duo had previously provided financial assistance to the temple by selling Newari dishes at the food fair. The participants in the fair highly praised their continuous contribution and efforts in promoting Nepali culture and traditional food, as well as in social and religious work.

Stalls featuring unique dishes from various countries and regions were set up at the food fair organized by the Aberdeen Hindu Temple. Chandra and Shruti Shrestha operated a stall selling Selroti, pickles, and Nepali tea at the fair, which began at 4 PM.

The attraction of the participants in the fair towards Nepali flavored dishes was remarkable. Especially, the enthusiasm of the audience and participants towards Selroti, a unique dish from Nepal, was very high. As visitors to the fair enthusiastically participated to taste Nepali dishes, all the food items kept at the stall were finished within two hours.

The collected £400 from the sale of Selroti, pickles, and Nepali tea was handed over to the Aberdeen Hindu Temple fund at the event venue. Dr. Narayan Shrestha, former secretary of the Aberdeen Hindu Temple Trust and a social worker, stated that the popularity of Nepali traditional food has played an important role in introducing Nepali culture to the local community.
