Kathmandu, Nepal – 3rd May, 2026 - Pashupati Paints, one of Nepal’s long-standing and trusted homegrown brands, is bringing back a beloved piece of its history, the bunny as its brand ambassador in a fresh and modern way.

Today, the brand is reconnecting with audiences by reviving its iconic animated bunny, named Punte, first introduced in a television advertisement in the early 1990s.

It stood out as one of the first animated commercials in the country, making a lasting impression on viewers.
