Kathmandu, May 29 -- Director of 'Acheta' Govinda Sunar, who grew up in Jumla, recalls a temple he was not allowed to enter. While others went inside to pray, he would sit outside.

"The god's statue inside was made by my grandfather. I used to ask myself: if it was made by our own hands, why were we treated like that?" Sunar asks.

'Acheta' tells the story of Dal, a sculptor and shaman whose faith is a double-edged sword in his life.

'Acheta', was screened for the three-day Tri-Nation Theatre Festival organised by the Nepal Academy of Music and Drama at Kantipur Theatre...
