معنی
Sitting in the sun for warmth.
زمینه فرهنگی
In the hills, houses are often built with a 'Sikuwa' (porch) specifically to catch the winter sun. Basking here is a primary social activity. In the crowded city, the 'Chhath' (flat roof) has replaced the courtyard. People spend their entire Saturdays on the roof 'tapping' the sun. During the 'Sitalahar' (cold wave), the sun might not appear for weeks. When it finally does, the whole village comes out to 'Gham Tapnu'. In high-altitude Buddhist monasteries, monks often study their texts outside in the sun to stay warm without using fuel.
The Orange Rule
If you are 'Gham Tapnu' with friends, bringing oranges (Suntala) makes you a pro at Nepali culture.
Don't Stare
Remember, 'Tapnu' is about the skin feeling the heat, not the eyes looking at the light.
