The youth of the Kirati Rai community danced Sakela Sili on Friday at Pancharbato, singing songs to the rhythm of drums and jhyamta. At the place where there is a 110-foot tall Yalambar statue in Buipa Panchardobato, Diktel Rupakot Majhuwagadhi Municipality-14, not only the youth of the Kirati Rai community, but also children and the elderly, danced Sakela Sili.
The Sakela Sili organized by the Buipa Ward Office was attended by the Chairman of the Labor Culture Party and member of the House of Representatives, Harkaraj Rai, member of the House of Representatives, Aren Rai, and others.
The Kiratis dance this Sili twice a year, Ubhauli on Baisakhe Purnima and Udhauli on Mansire Purnima. Bhimraj Rai, central general secretary of Kirat Rai Yayokka, said that Udhauli is called Udhauli because aquatic and terrestrial animals migrate during Ubhauli and Mangsire Purnima.
Rai said that since Ubhauli is the time for planting crops and irrigation, it is customary to worship nature, praying for good farming and the absence of natural disasters.
On the occasion of Mangsire Udhauli, it is customary to worship nature with the wish that there will be a surplus of food and that there will be no famine. Rai said that Udhauli is celebrated because aquatic and terrestrial animals migrate during Mangsire Purnima. Ubhauli and Udhauli are also considered important occasions to meet relatives.
Ubhauli was celebrated in various places in the district on Friday. Ubhauli Sakela is celebrated in various places including Majhuwagadhi of Diktel Rupakot Majhuwagadhi Municipality, Tuwachung Jayajum of Halesi Tuwachung Municipality, etc.
Sakela is danced not only by the Kiratis but also by communities of all castes and religions, so it has become a rich culture that develops ethnic tolerance, unity and brotherhood, said San Bahadur Rai, head of the District Coordination Committee Khotang.
