Gurungs
is a rich custom of music and culture in Nepal. Gurungs is an olden custom of
Rodhi where the young people meet and sing and dance to folk songs and share
their different ideas. In Rodhi tradition the young men and women often sing
the call-and-response song which is known as dohori which is largely
improvised. Some of the musical dances
include the Chudka and Ghantu which are still in existence and it is still
performed by many Gurung villages. This dance is more than hundred years old
and it is still performed in solo or in a group. This music also plays an
important role in the Gurung ritual of Argum which is performed when someone
die in the community.

customs are still in existence in the rural Gurung vilages. Gurung films also promote
some of these songs and dances.
