Performance of Nau Bajan in the Courtyard of Uku Baha

Abstract

The Nau Bajan lasts eight days, and like the rest of the musical events Uku Baha is involved in, it occurs only once every ten years. This evening it began c 5.45, with 5 dhaa players and two gushyas playing chores; later joined by a Jogi (who came into the sunken part of the courtyard) and the nyekhu players who were in the northern digi. Music was in the courtyard to the n-w of the shrine, beyond the statue of Rana.
