 1.       Purpose of Dheusi-Bhailo

Dheusi Bhailo has been celebrated since time immemorial in the mountains and terais of Nepal. If there is one thing that is the most unique to Nepal during Tihar festival then that is Dheusi-Bhailo. Organizing this in the Diaspora (United States or elsewhere in the world) is one of the most cost-effective and productive thing a Nepali organization like yours could do.  Such program has many benefits but broadly

–          It provides fun and entertainment to people of all ages

–          It promotes Nepali culture and heritage

–          And importantly, it raises funds for your future events or programs

 2.       History of Dheusi Bhailo in the Southeast

Though organizing Dheusi-Bhailo is pretty new in the Southeast America, it has been popularly picked up by the Nepalese organizations in the Southeast . In Atlanta, Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina it began in 2005.

 3.       One-Stop or Home-to-Home or a Combo?

There are three different ways you could organize the Dheusi-Bhailo event.

 One stop – You could select a venue/ location and invite all the families and friends there. Once they have gathered the singing group could sing them Dheusi-Bhailo. The individual families will give their contribution to the Dheusi Singing group.

 Home-to-Home –  You could request families to invite your Dheusi-Bhailo group via a mass announcement or contacting them individually. It is good to send out the announcement first and follow up individually via email or phone.  Once the host family invite the Dheusi-Bhailo group in their houses then give them the date and time that you would like to be at their address or alternatively ask them to give you the time they would prefer. Once you work the date/ time with the host families, take your Dheusi-Bhailo group either in a van or drive separately. Whatever the transportation, plan to arrive at the host address 5-10 minutes prior to the previously agreed on time.

 Combo- You could do the combination (combo) of the above.  In the combo, you could have both  meaning  (a) you could have many families gather at one place where the Dheusire group  sing song to all and (b) the dheusire group then could go to  another location where another group of families have gathered similar to the one before.

 4. One day or multiple days? – You could do one day Dheusi-Bhailo or a multiple day Dheusi-Bhailo for example Friday in the evening, Saturday the whole day, Sunday the whole day.

 5. Pick the right date –  It is important to pick up a right date that works for most in the Dheusi-Bhailo group as well as to the host families, especially when you are doing home-to-home Dheusi-Bhailo.  Some prefer Saturday, others Sunday or some do not care which day it is. Some prefer early afternoon, some late afternoon and some late evening. It’s important that you talk to each family and figure out what works for each best and make your plan around it. Of course it is not possible to make a plan that suits everyone, so negotiate with families if they could adjust time.

 6.Promote the event and Solicit host families –  When you are doing the home-to-home Dheusi-Bhailo, the first thing you need to do is to draft an attractive announcement and send it out repeatedly to catch the attention of your community. Simultaneously, you need to contact families individually.

 7.At the host house – Once you arrive at the host house, let everyone settle first. Find a wide area (living room, or family room) and let your group make a semi-circle. Plug in your loud speaker or Karaoke if you are carrying one. You could do the following sequence of songs/dance (this is just one example, you could plan your own sequence):

1. First Sing Dheusire song for five minutes (examples are given at the back)
2. Then Play the traditional or folk music and dance and encourage host family to join in the dance. This could go for another 5-10 minutes.
3. Third, stop the music and say in melody that now you are about to leave and that you appreciate any monetary contributions to the group.  
4. Once the host family makes the contribution, ‘sing the blessing song’ (example given at the back).
5. It is not necessary to sing only the Dheusi-Bhailo songs;  you could sing Gajals, folk songs, pop songs, raps, recite poem, tell joke or whatever you or others in the group has talent in.

 8.       Evaluation:

Once your event is over, plan for a evaluation via conference call or in-person meeting to discuss what went well and what could have been improved. Such evaluation will help you do better next year.

NASeA wishes you all the best for your Dheusire event in your city/ state.
