The khukuri is the distinctive curved Nepali knife that is synonymous with the Gurkhas and Nepal. The khukri is respected throughout the world for its fearful effectiveness as a close combat weapon, but it is also a humble multi-purpose tool used in Nepal for everyday tasks. This iconic and instantly recognizable blade also holds deep spiritual and historical significance for Gurkhas and the people of Nepal.
In the video we can see an awesome performance by the Nepali army. It looks like a huge parade. There is a lot of band, music and dance. All the armies are in their respective uniforms. There are some band members who are playing the instruments and are playing their usual music. There are also 4 guys around the band members who are dancing with a bare khukuri on their hands. Khukuri is symbolized as strength. And dancing with a bare khukuri on their hands represents the courage and the strength. The performance was very well executed.
Our native Gurkhas visit other countries and perform in this way. These kind of performances are loved by the foreigners and can also be called as a national pride. These are also a sort of a royal performances.
Armies are known to be stone hearted and very tuff, but they also do love to dance and sing. During festivals like Dashain and Tihar when they are on duty and are not able to celebrate it with their families, they enjoy the festive moment with their fellow members. They dance and sing and enjoy .the moment
