Tuladhar (Nepali: तुलाधर) is a caste from the Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley in Nepal. The name Tuladhar is derived from the Sanskrit words tula (weighing scale) and dhar (possessor), thus meaning scale-bearer or in general, merchant. Tuladhars belong to the Uray group which includes Kansakar, Tamrakar, Sthapit, Bania, Sindurakar, Selalik and other castes. They follow Newar Buddhism and speak Nepal Bhasa as a mother tongue. Traditional Tuladhar neighborhoods are Asan (Nepal Bhasa: असं Nepali: असन), Nyata (Nepal Bhasa: न्यत)(also known as Naradevi) and Jhwa Baha in Kathmandu where they hold a number of cultural performances annually including religious dances and music concerts.
