Bishnu Majhi

Bishnu Majhi is one of the most iconic and beloved folk singers in Nepal, known for her powerful voice, emotional depth, and contribution to preserving and popularizing Nepali folk music. Despite her immense fame, she is famously reclusive and rarely makes public appearances, which has added an element of mystery to her personality.

Born in Syangja District, Bishnu Majhi began singing at a young age and rose to prominence through her participation in local music programs and competitions. Over the years, she has recorded thousands of songs, especially in the Lok (folk), Teej, and Dohori genres. Songs like “Driver Dai”, “Sital Dine Pipal Sami”, and numerous Teej songs have become household favorites across the country and among the Nepali diaspora.

Bishnu Majhi is also known for her consistent collaboration with lyricist and musician Sundarmani Adhikari, who has managed and accompanied her professionally for years. While her talent is universally admired, her personal life has occasionally attracted media attention due to her complete withdrawal from the public eye and reports of strict control over her interactions.

Despite the controversies, her voice remains a cornerstone of modern Nepali folk music, and every year, especially during festivals like Teej, her songs are eagerly anticipated by millions. Bishnu Majhi continues to influence generations of singers and holds a unique place in Nepal’s musical and cultural landscape.
