Neelam Karki Niharika (Nepali: नीलम कार्की निहारिका) (born April 9, 1975) is a Nepalese novelist, poet and short-story writer. She is best known for writing Beli, Hawaan, Cheerharan and Yogmaya. Her first novel Maun Jeevan was published in 1994.[1]

Literary career

[edit]

Her works are highly sought by newspapers, television and radio media. Her popularity extends beyond Nepal, especially in Nepali communities abroad. Her themes commonly cover male-dominated society, caste, class, poverty, corruption, and tyranny. She cites Parijat as an inspiration and influence in her books. [2]

Yogmaya

[edit]

Yogmaya is one of her most popular works. Yogmaya is based on the life of female protagonist Yogmaya Neupane (1860-1941), a religious leader and women rights activists born in Bhojpur, who fought against the autocratic Rana regime.[3] Karki's research and book is attributed to being a large influence on bringing Yogmaya to the Nepali mainstream.
