Explanation:
Nepali folk dance “Maruni” – It is one of the oldest and popular group dance form of the Nepali community, usually performed by three male dancers and the three female dancers. The dancers are usually accompanied by a clown called “Dhatu waray”.
Tamang Selo is a traditional Sikkimese folk dance patronised by the Tamang community of the state. A traditional musical instrument of the Tamangs, called the Damphu, accompanies the dance. The spellbinding dance, which is full of fun and vigour, depicts the colourful lifestyle of the people of Sikkim.
Dhaan means “the raw and harvested paddy grains”. Dhaan Naach is a folk dance of Sikkim performed by the Nepalese community to celebrate the crop harvest, i.e., paddy. It is one of the oldest traditional and cultural heritage preserved and followed by the farming community, which is witnessing the enthusiastic participation of both young and old.
Once upon a time, one of the Gurung kings had 1, 600 queens but every one of them failed to produce an heir to the throne. The king in utter despair began snatching all the precious ornaments from his queens and sold then for his lustful pleasures. The grieved queens became helpless, and this dance performance expressed the sorrowful expression and pitiful state of queens.
Chyabrung is the traditional musical instrument of Limbus. The traditional dance performers tie Chyabrung around their neck and beat the drum with an open palm and with a stick on the other. This generated two different sounds, as Chyabrung is a song less dance, performed only with the rhythmic sound of the instruments. In this dance form, Limbus depicted the graceful movements of birds and animals.
