The daily life and household chores of rural women have been captured on camera. Dipendra has captured the daily life of 31-year-old Radhika Pahari, a resident of Bhumlu Rural Municipality-1 in Kavre, and her family.

'I have shown the work that rural women do from morning to evening. Women are involved in the work of getting up in the morning and sweeping the streets, making and feeding the animals and livestock, taking care of the children and sending them to school, and then cutting grass and firewood,' said Dipendra. 'By the time the city people are ready to go to the office, rural women have already done a lot of work.' And, their work is not finished even by evening. However, the account of household work is not reflected in the economy. Society needs to keep an account of it and view it with respect and importance. To create pressure for that, I have made the life of rural women the main theme of the exhibition.
