By himalayanreview



Nepal’s singing celebrity Anju Pant’s much sought after nepali song “Na Birse Timilai” found a new breathe of life when a  mujra was performed at Namchi Municipal Corporation Hall, last Saturday on March 30, 2012.  Probably the first Nepali mujra performed at any form of stage in Sikkim, Sushma Chettri, Director and Proprietor of Step Dance Sensation Academy (SDSA) won hearts for her marvelous performance. The auditorium was filled with applause and the gathered Namchi audience mesmerized with the performance of the evening. The occasion was the inaugural function of the Step Dance Sensation Academy at Namchi.
Speaking about her performance Sushma Chettri said initially she was reluctant to perform at this song but it was an encouragement from her SDSA team members that made her perform. This is one of my favourite songs and I am happy people have appreciated my effort, added Chettri.
A couple of an hour long programme had many breath taking performances in different forms of dance from the young dancers of the Institute.  The other noted performers of the evening was Poojan Lohagun, Sushila Rai, Surgam Sikkim finalist, Mani Kumar Rai and Sumitra Shanker, finalist of Namchi Mahotsav 2011.
Present on the occasion was NH Ansari, Deputy Chairman Namchi Municipal Corporation, Bimal Rai, BDO Namchi, Puran Chettri, DYC NYK (Gangtok), Praveen Pradhan, SPARK NGO from Singtam, Sunita Gurung, Bikash Pradhan, Dipak Rai, Suren Mohra and others.

Standing next to Denzong Queen Mother is the senior Rakasha Lhachamkusho, daughter of Raja Tsodrak Namgyal Taring of Sikkim, the eldest son of Chogyal Thutop Namgyal, who gave up the Sikkimese throne to his younger brother Sir Chogyal Tashi Namgyal in favour of staying in Tibet.  The Taring family of Tibet enabled into Tibetan high society by the great 13th Dalai Lama, is legitimately the unbroken elder line of the Royal Namgyal lineage of Sikkim, since Raja Tsodrak Namgyal was the Crown Prince of Sikkim, and his sons and grandsons today go by the Taring family name. Standing in the picture is also Princess Kukula, sister of the Chogyal married to the Phuenkhang family of Tibet.  Rakasha Tsetop, Rakasha Tseten, Yap Dr. Paljor, Soden Wangdi, Chimi ...

JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT

By himalayanreview
This was a national song of Sikkim sung in the Nepali language during the monarchy system. During the merger with India, the song got banned and later re-released. Two words on the 8th para, which earlier said 'Rajah rah Rani,' were replaced with "Janmah bhumi."     This song was dedicated to the King and Queen of Sikkim. The song lyrics were penned by Sanu Lama, and the music was composed by Dushyant Lama.  The song was first sung on the birth anniversary of Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal on April 4, 1970, at Gangtok by Aruna Lama, Dawa Lama, and Manikamal Chettri.    JANHA BAGCHA TEESTA RANGIT,  JAHAN KANCHENDZONGA SEER   YEHI HO HAMRO DHANA KO DESH,  TAPAWAN HO PYARO SIKKIM     INTERLUDE     PHULCHAN YEHA AANGANAI MAA,  CHAAP , GURAS, SUNAKHARI   SWARGASARI SUNDAR DESH KO  HAMRO PYARO PYARO JANMAHBHUMI     JANHA BAGCHA……     BATASHLE BOKCHAA YAHA,  TATHAGAT KO AAMAR WAANI ...
