Majipa Lakhey

The dance of this Lakhey takes place only in the week of the full moon of the month of Yenlaa of the Nepal Sambat calendar.

[1] The Newari word Majipa is derived from Sanskrit "Manjupattan" "Manjusri city".

Another story links Lakhey to banishing the two cannibal children of the king Sawan Bhaku, after he was requested to do so by Akash Bhairav and Hanuman.

However, the two children return to the city on Yanyaa Punhi to claim their rule and to devour humans.

During the Indra Jatra festival in Nepal, the Majipa Lakhey dance is conducted by the Ranjitkars of Kathmandu.
