What we do
Six practices, one production engine
Strategy, booking, and engineering under one roof — so every decision reinforces the last.
01
Live production
Full-stack show delivery — sound, lights, staging, and run-of-show.
02
Festival curation
Lineups and programming that feel local and still hit hard.
03
Artist booking
From regional acts to marquee names — booked clean, treated well.
04
Sponsorship
Brand partnerships that sit inside the night, not on top of it.
05
Ticketing partners
Smooth access paths so the crowd’s night starts before the first song.
06
Cultural programming
Community-first nights that give western Nepal a reason to gather.
The stages we've built
The journey so far
From the first night in Butwal to the chapters still ahead — a chronological look at how Adhwan grew.

In the crowd
Moments from the floor
Scroll to stack through nights on the floor — or open the full gallery.
01 / 06
Festival nights
Crowds, lights, and the moment the room tips — captured from the floor at Adhwan nights.
02 / 06
Stage craft
Performers under hard light and haze — the craft that makes a set feel inevitable.
03 / 06
Silhouette sets
Shapes against the wash — when the silhouette says more than the face.
04 / 06
Packed rooms
Shoulder to shoulder in rooms that hold — energy that only live music makes.
05 / 06
In the crowd
Hands up, voices with the chorus — the view from inside the night.
06 / 06
Open air
Outdoor stages and open sky — nights that spill past the venue walls.
Founder & Director
Ashok Thapa
The founder
Building live infrastructure for Butwal
“I've spent ten years learning that live music isn't entertainment. It's infrastructure. Butwal deserves that infrastructure — and Adhwan Network will build it.”
Ashok Thapa brings over a decade of hands-on event management to every Adhwan production — from college gigs to outdoor festivals. He founded Adhwan in 2023 to treat western Nepal as a primary market, not a secondary one.
