| Deusi-Bhailo: An age-old Nepali tradition of caroling in modern times | ||
| BY ROSHANI DHAMALA | ||
Girls clad in saris carrying a stereo, and boys dressed in traditional Nepali attire carrying madal, and guitar, enter a compound that is brightly lit with diyos and start singing and dancing to the tunes of popular Nepali songs. Tihar comes alive with the traditional deusi-bhailo albeit not as traditional with the stereo in tow.
“Tihar oozes mood of glee and merry. And what adds to the whole splendor is the marvelous musical side of the festival,” says Ayush Pradhanang who has started rehearsing for deusi that he and his friends will perform in their neighborhood in Kuleshwor. Deusi always excites him as a means to get along with friends, sing and dance, and share the joys. |
