Dancing in Panchebaja Music
Astam is best known for the Panchebaja (Music from Nine traditional instruments). The tune is so beautiful that it is considered the best local music of Nepal. If the event is during the day, they can sing their instruments with beautiful tunes, while we can dance in the music. It is actually the best form of performance for huge groups.
