  • Abstract:
  • The origins of the Jogi group are unknown due to a lack of systematic anthropological investigations, with oral traditions frequently merging with legends and myths. The Jogi community, which dates back to ancient times, has evolved into a separate ethnic group that resides mostly in Darjeeling, Sikkim, and Nepal. They differentiate themselves from conventional Hinduism by engaging in socio-religious behaviours like as alcohol use, tantric rites, and animism. The interaction of set musical notes and flowing words gives a rich, dynamic character to the performance, making each recitation a distinct statement of commitment and skill. The tunes of Jogi are like chanting and melody mixed. In the mid night when people sleep, on that time that sound make mysterious feeling and lightly horror. The myth is there that, during chanting of Jogi at midnight the evils are destroy from the surrounding places. When they come near the house that time the tune gives the feeling as healing. Sikkim is the best part of India where we can get the opportunity to introduce with Jogi.
