Celebrating Sansari Puja 2023

On Saturday, May 13th, Vermont Folklife was honored to join the Burlington Nepali Rai and Limbu Community for Sansari Puja—a springtime festival celebrating Mother Earth. The community gathered and were joined by friends and neighbors from around Burlington to connect, eat, make music, and dance. The event included many past and present participants in our Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program, including a performance by the Old North End Sarangi Club.
