Bhaila deity performing during Bhaila, Madhyapur Thimi 2025

Madhyapur Thimi is a city rich in culture and history, where numerous festivals and traditional dances are celebrated throughout the year. Among these, the Thimi Bhaila Pyakhan(थिमि भैलः प्याखँ ), also known as Thimi Bhairab Naach, holds great significance. This traditional dance is performed for four days, beginning the day after the Gaijatra Festival. In Thimi Bhaila, five deities are represented in the dance, including one Jyapugaa (a child artist), two Bhailas, and two Daangis.

The deities perform to the rhythm of traditional music like Dhaa, Bhusya, Mahaali, and Ponga, and during the dance, the adult performers (except for the child artist) begin to shiver, believed to be under the influence of divine powers. In this trance-like state, they lose awareness of their surroundings, entering a subconscious state. This profound experience reflects the community’s deep devotion to their traditions and culture, as they gather to celebrate and honor their deities with enthusiasm and reverence. The dance not only showcases their cultural identity but also strengthens the bond within the community, uniting them in their shared heritage.

Locals of Madhyapur Thimi gather to celebrate Gunla Parva with traditional musical instruments, filling the streets with devotional tunes on July 26, 2025.

Gunla Parva is a month-long festival observed annually by the Buddhist Newar community of the Kathmandu Valley. It begins on Shravan Shukla Pratipada and continues until Bhadra Shukla Pratipada, according to the lunar calendar.

The festival is marked by the recitation of sacred scriptures, fasting, and pilgrimages to places of worship, all accompanied by devotional music played on traditional instruments.

Gunla, the tenth month of the Nepal Era (falling in August), is considered highly sacred and is dedicated to Lord Buddha. Celebrations take place across Kathmandu, Lalitpur, and Bhaktapur, making it a significant spiritual event in Newar Buddhism.
