The Culture of Nepal
Performance of the Everest Cultural Society: the Jhankari (Witch Doctor) Dance. During the bygone days when there were no medical facilities in the country, the sick people used to be taken to the witch doctor to get cured. Even now a day in the remote area of Nepal this practices is still prevailing. One can see in this dance how witch doctor cures a patient, using fire.
