Yesterday, October 28, 2011, we (Laramie Nepali people) celebrated
Tihar (a five-days Nepalese festival) 2068 playing Deusi-Vailo songs and dancing. It was a special occasion as it was the first Deusi-Vailo program celebrated in Laramie, Wyoming. In playing Deusi-Vailo for the first time in Laramie, we felt so proud to have started the Nepali culture and tradition here in Laramie. This Deusi-Vailo program
was organized by FNUW. Around 30 Nepalese people joined the Deusi-Vailo team to
celebrate Tihar. We started playing Deusi-Vailo program from Lok Nath Adhikari’s
Apartment at 7:00 pm and continued playing Deusi till 8:30 pm. We visited other
Nepalese people’s apartments (Landmark and Spanish apartments) to sing Deusi
songs (popular Tihar songs) and dance. As token of love, they (apartment owners) offered us money, Selroti (a special type
of bread) and fruits. Then we gathered at my apartment and enjoyed a
lot...a get-together was held afterwards….
I have uploaded some photos from yesterday Deusi-Vailo
