About Banshavali
Names fade. Photographs scatter. The elders who carry a lineage in their memory are not always with us. Banshavali exists to keep that knowledge — accurate, shareable, and permanent.
Most families keep their vanshavali in one handwritten book — one flood, one fire, one move away from being lost.
So much lineage lives only in an elder's memory. When they pass, decades of names and stories go with them.
Photos on phones, names in chats, dates half-remembered. Nothing in one place, nothing that lasts.
Our mission
We turn a family's history into a living digital archive every relative can read, search and add to — without losing the dignity and detail of the original record.
Each family gets its own private archive at its own web address, fully bilingual, with a real admin system behind it. Preserved not for a generation — but for all of them.
How it comes together
Start with your founding ancestor — the single name every branch grows from.
Record members with births, marriages, places and photos. The tree builds itself.
Publish biographies for notable members — education, work, and the lives they led.
Share news and events, invite editors, and back everything up in one click. Forever.
What guides us
Each archive belongs to the family. Admins control who can edit and what is shown publicly.
English and नेपाली together, with Bikram Sambat dates and Devanagari names.
One-click backups and exports mean a family's history is never locked in, never lost.
About the creator
"I built Banshavali because every Nepali family deserves a permanent digital home for its history. Too many family stories disappear every generation. My goal is to preserve them forever."
Bring your lineage online and keep it for the generations to come.
