March 24, Kathmandu – Global IME Bank has released its new 2083 calendar showcasing images highlighting Paubha art.
The unveiling ceremony was held at the bank’s corporate office in Kamaladi, where the calendar was jointly launched by Bank Chairman and Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) President Chandraprasad Dhakal along with Tilganga Eye Institute founder and Executive Director Prof. Dr. Sanduk Ruit.
Paubha art is an indigenous form of painting originating from the Newar community. The bank stated in a press release that the calendar features rare Paubha paintings due to the deep-rooted connection with the Newar community residing primarily in the Kathmandu Valley.
Though similar to Thangka paintings, Paubha art possesses its own distinct identity and profound philosophical depth. For several years, the bank has included original artwork in its calendars aimed at preserving and promoting Nepalese art, literature, culture, and civilization.
In 2079 BS, the bank published a calendar featuring traditional Mithila culture paintings, followed by one with Mandala paintings in 2080 BS, and in 2081 BS, showcased images of ancient artworks that were repatriated to Nepal at different times.
Global IME Bank has earned numerous prestigious awards including Bank of the Year 2014, Best Internet Bank 2016, Best Bank Nepal 2024 and 2025, Euromoney Award for Excellence 2022, 2024, and 2025, Best Bank ESG Nepal 2024, and Best Employer, among others. The bank operates branches in all 77 districts across Nepal.
