Sangini

Sangini (Nepali: संगिनी) is a particular type of song and dance perform by the Nepali womenfolk during the occasion of a religious festival Tihar and Teej.[1] The Sangini dance is performed on other occasions also for entertainment but not in a big scale. The women folk of the village perform Sangini dance at the courtyard of the house or temples amid the green sylvan surroundings. The dancers themselves sing Songs. This dance belong to the high caste of Nepali community among the Brahmin and Chettris. The married away daughters come from afar and assemble in the house of their parents to take part in the dance. They meet their long forgotten friends there and take part in the dance with them.
