| Shelo |
| Shelo is a Nepalese folk dance that is performed during Vasant or the season of Spring. As new leaves or buds appear on the trees, young hearts are filled with love and longing. The young boys express their love to their beloveds. Through their songs, they compare the beauty of the girls with the beauty of spring and propose to them. When after a lot of coaxing, the girls accept the proposals, they dance together with the joy of Spring in their hearts. |
