Step into the music room at Ratna Rajya Laxmi Campus on Pradarshani Marg, Kathmandu, and you’ll find a captivating collection of black and white photographs of renowned singers. Among the instruments, a dusty guitar lies tucked away in its bag, a harmonium rests on a small table, a tabla sits neatly, and a spacious area welcomes students. It is here that Ajar Jangam, a seasoned musician, has been sharing his musical wisdom for almost two decades.
