‘I will treasure my time as the Lakhey while I can’

After twenty-five years of dancing as a Majipa Lakhey, Shiva Ranjit knows his age is slowly weighing him down for the part.
Shiva Ranjit, who works as a cook, has been one of the many faces behind the Majipa Lakhey for almost twenty-five years. For him, taking on the role of the Lakhey has been about upholding the intangible heritage of the Newa community.  Elite Joshi/ TKP
