Biratnagar. At a time when the tradition of playing Deusi-Bhailo during Tihar is being limited to entertainment and formality in recent times, journalists in Biratnagar have played collective Deusi by giving priority to the preservation of culture, culture and original folk traditions. <\/p>\n
This time, Deusi of Biratnagar became more original and attractive after senior singer Hari Bahadur Khatri led the team by incorporating the folk melody and folk of Arun Valley in Deusi. On the occasion of Tihar, a team of journalists visited the houses of various personalities, industrialists and businessmen, government offices and security bodies in Biratnagar and played Deusi. Kamal Rimal, a central member of Federation of Nepali Journalists, said that Deusi is also trying to highlight the importance of Nepali culture, traditions and social harmony. According to him, senior singer Khatri had worked to make the folk language of Arun Valley a center of attraction in the Deusi of journalists. At a time when the identity of the original Deusi is being overshadowed due to the influence of modern music and new style, Khatri had given the message of preserving the cultural identity by connecting the folk and singing tradition of his area with Deusi. The folklore of the Arun Valley is not only a means of entertainment but also a unique heritage associated with the lifestyle, social relations and cultural identity of the region. Folk singer Khatri’s singing and bhatyi gave traditional flavor to Deusi and introduced the new generation to the original folk rhythms. Welcoming the delegation of journalists to the District Administration Office, Morang, Chief District Officer, Yubaraj Kattel, said that the festival of Tihar would strengthen the relations between brothers, sisters and family members as well as social relations and intimacy. Stating that they were working in the district with the same sacred relationship and feeling, Kattel compared the relationship between journalists, administration and security agencies to family affinity. Saying that may the Tihar festival bring happiness, security and light in everyone’s life, CDO Kattel wished that everyone’s wishes be fulfilled, there is no fear of Yamraj and all may live long and be dedicated to the service of the country and citizens. Kattel’s elderly parents were also present to watch the journalists’ desk. CDO Kattel’s family members, Assistant Chief District Officer Saroj Koirala, Morang Police Chief Superintendent of Police Kabit Katawal, Armed Police Force Morang Chief Superintendent of Police Gehendra Bahadur Bhandari and chiefs of security agencies were present on the occasion. Rajendra Raut, President of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI), Koshi Province, also praised the role played by journalists in preserving culture and traditions. Welcoming the Deusi team of journalists who reached his home, he said that Deusi-Bhailo is a symbol of the original tradition, social unity and mutual harmony of Nepali society. He said that Tihar should not be limited only to tika, garland and entertainment, but the cultural practices associated with it should be continued. Raut said that activities like collective Deusi will play an important role in making the new generation aware of the rites and traditions being handed down from their ancestors.
