Pulukisi Jatra Celebrated In Nepal

Performers showcase the special Pulukisi dance in Nagadesh, Bhaktapur, Nepal, in February, linking it to the Swasthani tradition. In this context, Pulukisi represents an elephant. According to the myth, Nawaraj, son of Gomayaju, is chosen as king by an elephant, which then honors him by carrying him through Nagadesh while traditional musical instruments play.
