Gunla is a holy month for Newar Buddhists when they recite the scriptures, observe fasts and visit places of worship playing devotional music. It is one of the most important events in Newar Buddhism. The practice of observing the sacred month is descended from the rain retreat dating from the Buddha's time when monks were to stay in one place and taught the Dhamma to the locals during this period.
