Gai Jatra:
Lakhe :
Lakhe Nach:
The Lakhe dance is performed yearly during the Ja Nai Purnima in the streets of Sankhu. As king of the demons, the Lakhe serves to protect the residents of the city from evil spirits and misfortune. His dance is wild and spontaneous, performed to the music of cymbals and special drums. Masked and robed in red, his bells jingle loudly as he hunts and destroys the dangerous demons.
