Description:This is a dance which is part of the Wadhangmi festival. The Nangsuba (shaman) enters the courtyard of the Nakchong priest in the evening (at nightfall). The recording quality therefore is not very good.
This is a dance performed by the Nangsuba (shaman) at the house of the Nakchong (priest) in front of the shrine of the Chintang Devi, performed in the context of the Wadhangmi festival.
The Nangsuba dances by himself and is later joined by the Chambaks.
