Malshree dhun

Malshree or Malashree Dhun or Malshree Dhoon (Malashree Instrumental ) (Nepal Bhasa: मालश्री धून) is a Newar music in which musicians perform devotional instrumental melody, based on indigenous instrumental system. The dhun (instrumental melody ) is incorporated into mainstream Nepalese music as the music of Dashain. It is the tune that announces that Dashain, the biggest Indigenous festival of Nepal, has arrived. Malashree dhun is one of the oldest surviving devotional instrumental music of Nepal, with its origin in the 17th or older century.

History
Classic devotional music has been in existence in Nepal for more than a thousand years. The time period between 11th to 17th century saw an increase in literary activity in Kathmandu. The book was written as an appendix to Natya Shastra by the Newari Malla king of Bhaktapur Jagat Jyoti Malla and his ministers. The book elaborates on Bharata Muni's Natya Shastra and Abhinavagupta's Abhinavabharati. This was followed by Gayanlochan, written during the reign of Jitamitra Malla. Gayanlochan focuses more on introduction to raga (and raginis), their characteristics, and performance. ==Performance==
