Sushila Budha Magar of Salyan's Triveni Rural Municipality-3 Pimkhola is 39 years old. She was interested in dancing, singing and playing Madal, an original musical instrument, from her childhood. She has been doing agricultural work in the village, but now she has started gaining attention because of Madal.
She stood first in the National Women's Madal Badan Competition 2081 organized by the Karnali Artist Foundation in Kathmandu. However, relatives and neighbors have not tried to stop her from playing Madal saying that women should not play Madal because they feel lazy and have the same nature as men. But she didn't care and continued to play Madal. Today, he got the result. Not only that, women have also been successful in showing that they are not inferior to men in everything.
She has not yet taken any training to play Madal. She learned to play in various programs held in the village, and plays up to nine beats on the original baja madal. She can play two Madals continuously for more than an hour at a time. When I was 12 years old. While studying at school, he used to go to see the dances held in the village by his friends. He used to play Madal there unknowingly. It is from there that I learned to play Madal,' she says.
After separating from her husband after a few years of marriage, her goal is not only to make her native Pimkhola and the district known, but also to include the musical field of Pimkhola in the local curriculum. Recently, even if there is a dance program in the village, he is searched first. "However, I did not give much importance to the skill of playing madal and was limited to my village," she said, "but only then did I understand its importance." He says that it happened. She says that after becoming the first, she felt encouraged that something can be done by playing basic instruments and instruments. She won the first place in the
national competition and is now teaching village women and children to play Madal. According to him, even though it is not possible to earn a living by playing Madal in village houses, it has come to a situation where it has to be protected. In the coming days, I will start preserving the original instrument. "I have taught more than a dozen women and children to play madal for protection," she said. But he complains that the relevant agencies did not help for that.
