Bhailo and Deusi are traditional Tihar songs that are sung during the festival of light called “Tihar” in Nepal. Children and teenagers sing the songs and dance as they go to various homes in their community, collecting money, sweets, food and giving blessings for prosperity. At the end of these songs, woman of the houses serve food and give money to these deusi/bhailo singers and dancers. In return, the Deusi/Bhailo team gives blessings through the song for high income and prosperity.
