Bhairab Nach originated in Bhaktapur and was brought to Pokhara while migrating. Although it was performed every 12 years in Bhaktapur, it is performed every 6 years in Pokhara Valley to better fulfill its cultural role.
It was brought more than 250 years ago by Jitaram from Bhaktapur according to the guru Late Mr. Sarbagyaman Pradhananga. The rag (song) in this dance indicates that it started at the time of the last Malla King of Bhaktapur, Ranajit Malla.
Long live late King Ranajit Malla and the people of Bhaktapur.
