Ghatu dance (Nepali: घाटु नाच) is a Nepalese folk dance of the Magar community of western Nepal.[1] The dance is performed mainly during Baisakhi Purnima (full moon day of the Hindu month Baisakhi) festival. The dance is started on the previous new moon day of the same month. The dancers are selected on the day of Shree Panchami and then trained for three/four months.[2] Alongside Magar community, the dance is also performed by people of Gurung, Dura, Balami and Kumal communities.
