About Nirala Publications

For over three decades, Nirala Publications has remained committed to promoting Indian writing and scholarship on subjects such as Buddhism, Nepal, and Himalayan studies. This commitment is reflected in our extensive and ever-growing Nirala Series, which has earned recognition both in India and internationally.

Today, Nirala stands as the largest publishing house in the world dedicated to contemporary Indian writing, Hinduism, Buddhism, Nepalese history, Nepal, Bhutan, and Himalayan culture.

In addition to these core areas, we have consistently strived to bring the finest global literature—particularly poetry and fiction—to Asian readers. Over the years, we have had the honor of publishing works by internationally acclaimed authors, including Rabindranath Tagore, Jayanta Mahapatra, David Ray, Yuyutsu Sharma, David Austell, K. Satchidanandan, Evald Flisar, Kumar Vikram, Amarendra Khatua, Larry Peters, Laxmi P. Devkota, P.B. Sharma, Rishikesh Shaha, Taranath Sharma, David Axelrod, and Jidi Majia, among others.

Nirala also maintains collaborations with several foreign publishers and institutions, and we are always eager to expand these partnerships. It is our hope to continue sharing original research and literature from across the globe with our readers.

In addition, it supports Pratik, A Magazine of Contemporary Writing and has been instrumental in the publication of the magazine’s several special issues.
