The Limbu community of Koshi Province celebrates Balihang Tangnam during Tihar, similar to Deusi-Bhailo. They play like Deusi-Bhailo with one person playing the game and the members of the group saying Namlingek and Laringek, similar to Deusi.

The Limbu community has a tradition of dancing in groups while playing traditional instruments including the chyabrung during the Balihang Tangnam festival. Men and women from all over the village gather in one group to play the Namlingek Laringek and go around the village.

One of the group leaders who went out to celebrate Balihang Tangnam in the community leads the procession in the Limbu language and also gives blessings in their own language. At that time, the scene of the group members playing Deusi in their traditional costumes is very fun and attractive. They go around the village singing the fame of King Balihang and have fun. In this way, the group playing Deusi is given a basket full of rice, cell roti, money and a glass of wine as a donation.

Rajendra Kumar Javegu, Chancellor of Yakthung Pragya Pratishthan, an expert in Kirat history, said that wearing Bhaitika is not mandatory in the Limbu community, which plays the role of a deusi-bhailo as a name. ‘In Limbu culture, it is believed that a girl should not give flowers to her mother and a mother should not give flowers to her girl.’ However, recently, the Limbu community has also started wearing Bhaitika,’ he said.

The Limbu community celebrates this festival as Balihang Tangnam according to the Yakthung (Limbu) calendar. Harichandra Lawati, author of the Balihang Tangnam work and a scholar of Limbu language and culture, says that Balihang Tangnam is celebrated for four days. The Limbu community lights lamps on the new moon day and worships the peace of all the planets in the universe, including the Earth, the Sun, and others, in the temple.
