On the day of Dasain, the Sakhiya dance is full of excitement in the Tharu settlement. Women dressed in traditional clothes are singing and dancing while men are playing Madal. With the beginning of Dasain, the Tharu Basti is full of sakhiya. Sakhiya dance is going on in every settlement. Sakhiya dance is performed from house to house in every settlement. Dhikri Jad and meat are served to those who come to perform the Sakhiya dance. In the past, Sakhiya Bhadai started with Hareli Puja, but now it starts with Ghatasthapana. On the day of Dasain, if everyone is unable to reach the house, the sakhiya is danced on the next day as well.
