Malati Mangale is a Nepali musical drama written by Madhav Prasad Ghimire in 2039 BS (1982–83 AD). It is one of his most popular works and is considered one of the best ballets by Nepali poets. The story is based on real events from a village in Gorkha. The work was first recorded as a musical recording in 2044 BS (1987–88). For the cassette recording, Ghimire brought together music composer Ambar Gurung and singer Narayan Gopal, who were not on speaking terms at the time. Narayan Gopal could not be persuaded to work with singer Tara Devi, so the two recorded their duet with a partition wall between them in the studio.
