5000+ years old cultural dance by Kirat-Limbu

As of April 15, 2011, Nepal will turn 2068 years old in regards to Bikram Sambat calendar. Right now the New Nepali Constitution is planning a draft to use Kirat's calendar (Yele Sambat) to commemorate King Yalamber for opening up Kathmandu valley and starting the human civilization in the valley.

During the conference last year in 2010, senior historians Prof. Jagadish Chandra Regmi and Prof. Dineshraj Pant presented a paper regarding the use of Kirat Yele Sambat. With Nepali government formally recognizing Yele Sambat, Nepal turned 5070 as of Friday 15th Jan 2010.

Every year Kiranti(rai, limbu, sunuwar, yakkha) have been following their long traditional New Year which starts on the day of Nepali maghe sakranti which falls on 15th Jan. With the recognition of Yele Sambat this makes Nepal as one of the oldest civilization in the world in par with other civilization such as Ancient Mesopotamia, Indus Valley, Chinese, Greek, Egypt that are all more than 5000+ years old.

This is the cultural dance by Kirat-Limbu that have been passed down generations by generation over the course of the millennium.
