Chaulo dance has been performed in Dadeldhura with the aim of preserving the original art, culture and traditions of the Far West and informing the new generation about its importance.
The Chaulo dance performed on Monday with naked khukuri and swords had attracted the attention of the students and the audience present. The performance of this dance, which reflects the bravery, courage and cultural pride of the Far West, turned the school premises into a cultural theater.
Hudkeli songs were also performed in the program. The folk songs sung to the tune of Hudkeli highlighted the social life, history and culture of the region. Kailash Kumar Pandey, an expert on Doteli culture, said that such programs make a significant contribution to the preservation of traditional art and culture at a time when original culture is being lost with modernity in recent times.
'There is a need for cultural transmission,' he said. He also expressed concern that the new generation is forgetting its original traditions. ‘It is necessary to preserve the cultural heritage and symbols of the ancestors and pass them on to future generations,’ he said.
He said that if one cannot preserve one’s culture, one’s identity will be weakened. He said that it is the need of the day to pass on the arts, customs and traditions left by one’s ancestors. He said that if information about such cultures can be provided from the school level, the young generation will develop a sense of pride in their originality.
Min Bahadur Lamichhane, Chief of the Social Development Office, Dadeldhura, said that the office has been running various programs to preserve local culture and heritage. He also informed that work is being done by prioritizing the preservation and promotion of the original arts, instruments and folk culture of the Far West.
‘Since Hudkeli songs, Chaulo dances and original instruments here are invaluable cultural heritage, it is necessary to preserve these traditions and pass them on to the new generation,’ he said.
As the influence of modern entertainment media has increased in recent years, the risk of traditional art and culture being overshadowed has increased. In such a situation, school-centered cultural programs can be an important means of preserving local culture and connecting the new generation with their original identity, said Harkesh Sanki, principal of the school.
The program organized at Cambridge Public School featured a performance of the famous Chaulo dance from the Kailapalmadau region of the district. The program organized by Gaunghar Media House and supported by the Social Development Office, Dadeldhura, featured the Chaulo dance accompanied by the tunes of local traditional instruments.
