Ganesh Lal Shrestha

His songs denounced the social inequalities and autocratic political system of the day.

Bhimphedi, located 35 km to the southwest of the Nepalese capital Kathmandu, is a market town on the old trade route linking India and Tibet.

Ganesh Lal's family owned a store shop which sold general merchandise and cloth.

Ganesh Lal looked after the shop and spent his free time composing songs.

In 1999, a statue of Ganesh Lal was erected on the premises of Nepal Bhasa Khala in Hetauda.
