Hera Bahadur Shakya: Meet the favourite daura-suruwal tailor of Nepali politicians

There was a time when tailoring shops were not as widespread in Kathmandu as they are now today. At that time, Harshman Shakya, the grandfather of Hera Bahadur Shakya, used to make rounds of the palace to take measurements for Juddha Shamsher Rana’s clothes.

But, Hera Bahadur Shakya is unaware of what kind of clothes were sewn in the palace at that time. Neither does he know where the fabrics came from or how much they paid as wage. He did not care too as he was a child.
