Palam (Nepali: पालाम) is a Nepalese folk song of the Limbu community.[1] It is sung in various cultural gatherings and events such as marriage, festivals, carnivals. etc. It is typically sung while dancing Dhan Nach.[2] It is sung step by step as a question and answer session between the boy and the girl. It contains various subjects such as origin of creation, from the evolution of human civilization to love.[3]
Traditionally, no instrument were used while singing Palam but nowadays, modern as well as traditional instruments are used.[1]
