Dikpal KC is the single largest donor till date and the very first Patron of the Nepali Community Center.
Dikpal KC is a highly respected figure in the global Nepali diaspora, an accomplished entrepreneur, generous philanthropist, and a tireless guardian of Nepali culture, Dharma, and community welfare. His journey is marked by devotion, service, and an unwavering commitment to uplift Nepali society both in Nepal and abroad.
Among his many impactful contributions, Mr. KC played a major role in the establishment of the Muktinath Temple in the Bay Area in 2023. This sacred endeavor was more than just a project—it was a spiritual and cultural milestone for the Nepali community in the U.S. His leadership and generous support helped realize this dream, reflecting his deep reverence for Sanatan Dharma and his readiness to go above and beyond for the preservation of Nepal’s spiritual legacy. The Muktinath Temple now stands as a beacon of devotion, peace, and unity—thanks in large part to Mr. KC’s dedication.
Another defining moment of his community service was his $50,111 donation to help establish the Nepali Community Center in the Bay Area. This center had long been a collective aspiration of the local Nepali community—a place to celebrate culture, language, and festivals; to gather in joy and support during times of need. Without his contribution, this dream would have taken years longer to fulfill. In recognition of this extraordinary act of generosity, the Nepali Association of Northern California (NANC) awarded Mr. KC the title of Patron of the Nepali Community Center—the highest recognition bestowed by the organization.
Currently, Mr. KC serves as the Vice President and Trustee of Muktinath Corporation and remains deeply involved in various cultural and religious institutions as a Trustee of Valeshowor Height Shiva Mandir (Tokha) and Narayan Pokharel Prathisthan at Badri Narayan Mandir (Ramkot, Nepal).
He is also a passionate advocate of Nepali music and art, having produced the emotionally powerful song “Thotro Choli (Amako Sangharsha Ko Geet)”, which honors the love and struggle of Nepali mothers.
