Aaran is the story of hardship faced by a girl from an untouchable lower caste family of Solokhumbu who happens to marry a boy from upper class and struggles to adjust in the society.Her father Kailo works in a furnace (aaran), a place to prepare iron tools and utencils. Because his daughter suffers from her inter-caste marriage and bears the unbearable hatred, he himself revolts against the society. This is the story of his rebellion character.

Mostly, we created dramas by writing scripts. We have presented lots of pays written by local play writers. But this time we tried something new in theatre. In this play which is prepared from 15 days of workshop, we have tried to use props like rice pounder in a very artistic way. Local folklore, dance and tradition have been presented with the story. I am sure that the lifestyle and tradition of solu will attract audiences from other places as well.
