Nepali Folk Song: Enjoy it

This is typical Nepali folk song. Nepal is rich in its culture. It has cultural diversity as well with others. The video presented here represents a festival. Its women’s festival and this is the correct time for this festival called Teej. Religiously and culturally women pray for their men. And sing song. They tell their life story, how hard time they are facing on their husbands house and how they miss their parents, mom’s food and dads love.

In this particular video, there are dad, mom, their one son and his wife. Son returns from abroad, where he had gone to earn money for better life. Parents expect some kind of help from their grown up sons. This is typical Nepali society. Unfortunately, the son has to listen his wife’s voice and have to abandon his parents.

Scene of the video shows typical Nepali house. Everything looks natural. Acting is awesome. I love it and it is heart touching.

says: This video shows typical Nepali daily life and can be regarded as a nice example for art choreography. However, I am quite sure how much it is related to teej.
The floor painted with red-soil (rato-mato), the sitting in sukul, namlo, typical dresses: WOW!
Teej is regarded as auspious occasion by many Nepali Women.
Dance and the Red color make the celebration memorable each year. However, I had very less opportunities to explore the in-depth details of the festival TEEJ.
