Book of Astrology and Omens from Nepal, 14th-16th century. Opaque watercolor and ink on paper. Nepal had its own practice of astrology that is still being followed by special communities. These practices are different from Vedic Astrology that has been well documented and taught all over the world. Due to various reasons the old astrologers had developed their own system that has not been well documented. Nepali is commonly written in the Devanagari script. There is some record of using Takri script in the history of Nepali, especially in western Nepal, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh. Bhujimol is an older script native to Nepal, while Ranjana script is another writing system historically used.
