=== Drama ===
[[Drama]]s are traditionally performed in open Dabu (stage). Most of the traditional dramas are tales related to deities and demons. Masked characters and music are central elements to such dramas. Most of them are narrated with the help of songs sung at intervals. Such dramas resemble dance in many cases. The theme of most dramas is the creation of a social well-being with morals illustrating the rise, turbulence, and fall of evil. There is fixed dates in the [[Nepal Sambat]] (Nepal Era) calendar for the performance of specific drama. Most of the dramas are performed by specific [[Guthi]]s.
