The men and women, bejeweled, come out of their houses and gather in mass to celebrate this gala event. They sing and dance to the tune of the flute, and there is a nostalgic tune associated with the entire process. Since dance is an art, we may as well say that “Every artist dips his brush in his soul, and paints his nature into his pictures”.
