요약This dissertation is based on ethnographic research that I conducted in 2022-2023 in Birgunj, a border-city in southern Nepal. Foregrounding overarching multisensory practices and sociopolitical contexts that frame and inform my research and writing processes, I focus on the diverse musical and culinary practices that contrast with or complement the existing perception and narratives of Birgunj as a mere commercial hub.My introductory chapter establishes Birgunj in relation to Nepal and South Asia as I explore the academic discourses and sociocultural narratives that highlight the concepts and practices of food and music in Birgunj. My second chapter focuses on the festival of Holi, issues of reciprocity and communal agency in the face of sociopolitical neglect, demonstrating how music brings communities together in celebration, but it is food practices that signal communal agency, reciprocity, and inter-caste dynamics. My third chapter gauges cosmopolitan aspirations embedded in the practices of food and music in the restaurant music scene of Birgunj, where I reconsider the term "scene" in the context of Birgunj's emergent music scene that primarily exists in restaurants. My fourth chapter discusses a socially significant dish called tarua and its textural and sonic properties that inform the social importance of the dish across Birgunj and Southern Nepal. My concluding chapter suggests new avenues for interdisciplinary applicability of sensory framework in public scholarship, as I venture further into fields of sensory ethnography and gastromusicology.My engagements with the fields of sound studies/ethnomusicology, food anthropology, and sensory ethnography provide an interdisciplinary angle to my research, while my practice of autoethnography and ethnographic memoirs shapes my ethnographic writing process. I argue that an empathetic attention towards Southern Nepali culture is vital to understanding music and food as vital sites of sensorial engagement that enhance our appreciation of Southern Nepali culture and identity.
