They worship the deity in the form of this dance and ask for long life of their children and also that their cattle remains in good condition. They also ask for blessings so that their crops are not destroyed by any sort of natural calamity because farming is the only way of earning for them; it is their life. The music for the dance is created with the combined playing of few instruments like tumbaknari, narshingas (big trumpets), short horns, pipes, flute and dhol. It is also called Fummaniyan.'} created: Sun, 21 Sep 2014, 03:56 PM UTC
