LIMBU - Folk Songs & Dances

The Limbu community has its origin in central Asia. Their predecessors began their journey from there and reached India via Lhasa, where they had a significant socio-cultural exchange with the Tibetans. However, they finally settled in Northern Indian Himalayas, where they continue to live. They are also called the “Kiranti” people. The community is concentrated in different areas of Darjeeling and Kalimpong. They believe that they are descendants of Lord Shiva and practice Shamanism. Their religion is Yumaism. Their temple is called ‘Manghem’. Manglang is one of their main dances. Chyabrung is the main musical instrument. Chyabrung lang, kasarakpa, Nisammang Sewa Samlo, Khyali, traditional love songs sakpa palam samlo, kemba palam samlo, hakpare samlo, and nahangma are their other popular dances and songs.
