Deusi-Bhailo programs
Nepali American Center (NAC) organizes traditional Deusi-Bhailo programs at or around the festival of Tihar (Deepawali). Accompanied by their parents, young children in traditional Nepali attires participate in this event visiting different community members’ homes door to door. They sing and dance in the deusi-bhailo songs, which are typically initiated by a leader in the group and followed by the rest. Musical instruments such as Madal (Nepali drum) and flute are also played. Traditional cell-roti (sweet) cooked with condiments, fruits and cash are offered to the Deusi-Bhailo players in a decorative form in a nanglo (hand woven tray made from canes). The participating children enjoy the event and the family offering them with presents feel happy to see the children learning how to play Deusi-Bhailo. Thanks to the volunteers for helping to keep this tradition alive. In some years, Deusi-Bhailo event is merged with the our regular Tihar celebration held at a large venue

भैली गीत
भैलिनी आईन आगन गुनिया चोलो मागन हे ! औसी को बारो गाई तिहारो भैलो
हरियो गोबर ले लिपेको लक्ष्मी पूजा गरेको हे !औंसी को बारो गाई तिहारो भैलो हामी तेसै आएनौँ बलि राजा ले पठाको हे !औंसी को बारो गाई तिहारो भैलो |
