Maruni sikkim

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Maruni is one of the oldest and most popular dances of the Nepalese in Sikkim. Though this dance is associated with the festival of Tihar (Hindi tyohar) or Diwali, it is now performed even on occasions like marriages. Tihar is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama from exile. During this festival Maruni dancers dressed in colourful costumes, and resplendent with ornaments and nose-rings called dungis, go calling from house to house. The dancers are usually accompanied by a clown called Dhatu Waray. Sometimes Maruni dances are performed to the accompaniment of a nine-instrument orchestra called Naumati Baja. Naren Gurung and his group are performing the Maruni dance.
