Lightning phenomena is the electrical discharging phenomena. The electromagnetic radiations due to lightning, having various frequencies with different wavelengths are produced. The measurement of lightning by different method like the photography method, current measurement method, electric and magnetic field measurements method and thunder measurement methods can be used. The lightning phenomena produced the waveforms of electric and magnetic field which are the basic parameters to understand the phenomena of lightning discharges. The pair of circular flat metallic plates, separated from each other by insulating material, and are used to capture the signature and measure the electromagnetic radiations produced due to lightning. The waveforms were recorded in the hilly and mountainous country, of Nepal. These types of waveforms are observed and recorded.
