Ha...early Disha came, Jogi sat in the yard....how do we play the colors in the yard...begging from house to house...this and similar songs came and Fagu has been played in Toltol of Nisdi Rural Municipality-4, Mityal of Palpa since Wednesday. 67-year-old Purkhsingh Gaha from here took out the song. His friends, 56-year-old Khadgsingh Gaha, and the team supported the song. Seeing the traditional fagu being played with fun is enticing to anyone's heart.

However, in most of the villages in the hilly areas, it was an old custom to sing a similar song a few days before Phagupurnima. But in some villages, such songs have started disappearing. The Magar community of Sahalkot, Jhiruwas, Galdha, Achale, Jamire and other villages of Nisdi have started playing the original fagu like Khadgsingh. He said that there is a tradition of playing at least three days from the day before Fagu to the next day.

'Otherwise it has already disappeared, but we have not allowed it to disappear,' said Purkhsingh, 'just as the practice of sitting in front has disappeared, we are afraid that after our generation there will not be a young generation who knows how to sing such songs.' The older generation used to have fun in the village. He suggested that the present generation should be taught and should not be allowed to lose. 68-year-old Meen Bahadur Thapa from Ruksevnjang of Mityal in Nisdi is also worried that the current generation has not been able to collect old songs. He used to sing the original Fagu song. There was a trend of singing songs about ornaments, fruits, plants, flowers and jogia. 

"Some of the older generations have not stopped singing the song," he said, "but the new generation has stopped singing it." It should be protected. This is what reflects our original culture.'' He suggested that things like playing big speakers, dancing on the mic, throwing colored eggs and throwing water are wrong. Meen Bahadur Rai Magar, a singer and instrumentalist of the youth generation, also admits that the younger generation has no interest in old songs. "Now, after our generation, it has become a matter of whether these songs will remain or not," he said. Now it has started to be forgotten.

He said that it is a special pleasure to dance while singing traditional old songs in the old language. Although they belong to the young generation, the elders also like Rai Magar. "When it comes to singing and playing, the leader makes me do it," he said, "I have learned it, but others don't try to learn it." Before, it was customary to go from house to house, beg and do social work with collected grain and money. But now, there is more distortion than this trend, said Run Bahadur Gaha of Mityal Jhyaltung. According to him, earlier generations of the village, from the elders to the youth, used to sing, dance and play music. "Now, there is a problem that no one comes when called," he said, "There is no way to collect the elderly except to go to some houses to play." Previously, it was a practice to go to the neighboring villages and villages to play fagu. 

Santabir Sunari, Ward President of Nisdi Rural Municipality-4, Mityal, said that there is a need to collect old fagu songs and teach them how to sing them. Fagu songs and dances vary from place to place. In some villages, the Phagu song is enjoyed by Bali King, Vishnu, Mahadev, Ganesha, Lakshmana, Dasharatha, Bhimsen and Indra who come. What is surprising is that Fagu's raga is taken. Playing and singing.  The love between men and women is also in Fagu song. Some people also sing songs about Holika. Ward president Sunari said that they should collect such songs from those who understand the history of Fagu songs and teach them to sing.  

Until a few years ago, the festival of color and intimacy, which was called 'Fagu' Purnima in the city bazaars and villages, is now Holi. The traditional glory and splendor is disappearing. The Magar community also used to play fagu according to the old tradition. Dhan Bahadur Thada said that the youth generation should be taught to play fagu in their own culture and dress. He said that the young generation's interest in culture is slowly disappearing due to emigration abroad.
