Tharu Maghi dance of western tharu people,💃💃

Maaghi is the greatest festival of the Tharus. The festival is marked by taking bath at the nearest natural water sources like rivers and ponds and eating sweets prepared from sesame seeds (tiluwa laddu), rice pudding with sesame seeds (teel khichri), sticky rice (cheechar), fish and meat.



Maaghi Naach, a part of Maghi celebration, is the greatest carnival observed by Dangura Tharu, reflects their belief, life style, art, and their identity. The Tharu social life and their aesthetic part get disclosed in Maghi performance as through their involvement and their activities done in Naach. The songs of Maghi Naach further externalize the emotion and the feeling of Tharu people’s agrarian life and on the other hand it depicts the family relationship. In this way, since Maghi Naach is more than what can be seen, it reflects and asserts Dangura Tharu identity through their costume, setting, bodily movement and the pattern of Naach.
