Lakhey: The Dancing Demon of Nepal • • Nepal is a country rich in culture and diversity, where various ethnic groups have their own traditions and beliefs. One of the most fascinating aspects of Nepalese culture is the dance of Lakhey, a demon who is revered as a protector and a deity by the Newar people of the Kathmandu Valley. • • Lakhey is a mythical being who is said to have lived in the forests and later became a guardian of the townspeople. He is depicted with a ferocious face, protruding fangs, and a mane of red or black hair. He wears a mask made of papier-mâché and yak tails, and a colorful costume with ornaments. He is often accompanied by a small boy, Jhyalincha who taunts and teases him, making him chase him in anger. • • There are different types of Lakhes, each with their own characteristics and stories. • • Majipa Lakhey also known as the Peaceful Bhairava, is worshipped as a deity and has a romantic legend behind his origin. He is the most famous Lakhey who appears during the Yenya (Indra Jatra) festival in September. • • Lakhey dance is one of the most popular dances of Nepal, which is performed on the streets and city squares during festivals. The dance is characterized by wild movements and thumping music, played by traditional instruments such as dhime and bhushya. The dance is a spectacle of energy, excitement, and devotion, as the Lakhey interacts with the crowd, accepts offerings, and displays his power. • • The dance of Lakhey is not only a form of entertainment, but also a ritual that connects the people with their ancestral heritage, their spiritual beliefs, and their social values. The dance of Lakhey is a celebration of life, death, and rebirth, as well as a symbol of protection, harmony, and joy. • • #Lakhey #Nepal #Dance #Culture #Festival #Demon #Deity
