The famous folk dance of Mithilanchal, Jhiziya, has now become mandatory in any cultural program. It is believed to be a dance of Mithila Tantric rituals. At the time of Dashain, the witch (witch) attains lethal power by performing Masan Siddhi and Tantra Mantra rituals.

The lid placed on the mouth of the watch is lit. It is burned with kerosene. Then Jhiziya is ready for the dance by placing it on the head.
Before dancing, Jhijiya is perfected by a mantra from a skilled sorcerer, that is, he is barred by a dhami so as not to catch the eye of a witch –
