Kartik Naach _Full Documentary
This is a unique type of festival that is observed at Patan Durbar Square. It’s a Newari cultural program where we can see Newari Musical Drama and Dances. The dances are very ancient. King Siddi Narsingh Malla of Lalitpur started the Kartik Naach in Nepal Sambat (year) 762. Historians assume that the king decided to start the festival following the advice from his teachers Hari Bansa Rajopadhayay and Bishwanath Upadhayay to celebrate the completion of Krishna Mandir, the temple dedicated to Lord Krishna, situated inside the Durbar Square.
When King Siddhi Narsingha Malla started the festival, it lasted for five days. Later, his son King Sriniwas Malla added satirical acts to the festival called “Batha Pyakha” and extended the festival to 15 days. King Yoga Narendra Malla, son of Sriniwas Malla, further extended the festival to be celebrated for a whole month. The Kartik Naach was then celebrated for a month every year for 350 years.
Then in 1951, due to political changes in the country, the Kartik Naach celebrations were cut down to only two days and this continued till 1981 when the locals took initiative and formed Kartik Naach Prabandha Samiti, an organization dedicated to the festival. Through their efforts and help from the government, they were able to revive the festival, extending it up to eight days.
After the political movement in 1951, the responsibility of the festival was transferred to the then Machhindra Guthi in 1952. The Guthi then transferred it to Lalitpur Nagar Panchayat in 1962. Then the Nagar Panchayat looked after the festival until the Prabandha Samiti stepped in.
The festival generally starts on the sixth day of the month of Kartik in Hindu calendar, the name of the festival thus derived from the month it is held in. On the first three days of the festival, the Batha Pyakha is performed. On the fourth day, a myth regarding war between Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva is depicted in a dance form. Devi Naach, is performed on the fifth day. It depicts the war of Lord Krishna with Banasur and Lord Shiva, among other stories. The sixth day’s performance is Jalasayan, in which Lord Vishnu is depicted lying on the Ananta Sesa, in the cosmic ocean.
On the seventh day, the folklore based on Barah Avatar is performed through dance. The Barah Avatar is Lord Vishnu’s reincarnation as a boar to defeat Hiranyaksha, a demon who carried the earth in the bottom of the cosmic ocean. The Barah Avatar, after claiming victory over the demon, had repositioned the earth to its original orbit.
The dance of Narsimha Avatar is performed on the eighth and last day of the festival. This dance also follows the folklore concerning Lord Vishnu’s reincarnation as Narsimha to defeat Hiranyaksha’s brother Hiranyakashipu.
The highlight of the festival, however, is the Narsimha Dance. Sharma says that it was Hari Bansa Rajopadhyaya who was the first to impersonate Narsimha and had choreographed the steps of the Narsimha dance. His descendants still impersonate Narsimha in the dance. Sharma’s son Pratap Dhar Sharma has been participating in the dance every alternate year since 2001.
Likewise, the Chitrakars residing at Nawa Kawa of Patan, which at present is known as Sundhara, impersonate King Hiranyakashipu in the dance. Maniklal Chitrakar is regarded as the most accomplished dancer, still remembered by his contemporaries. He is also remembered for his contributions to revive the festival after its dire period in 1951. His grandson Kiran Chitrakar has been impersonating the demon since 1999.

Some chronicles hint that the history of Patan Thakuri Dynasty built a palace and made reforms to the locality but the evidence is minute.
