Classical dance:

Charya Nritya, a Sanskrit term meaning "dance as a spiritual discipline," is an ancient Vajrayana Buddhist dance tradition. This sacred dance form is one of the religious arts of the Tantric Buddhist priests of the Kathmandu Valley, who perform it as part of their esoteric meditation and rituals.

Each dance, through bodily gesture and energy-directed movement, invokes a different deity, such as Manjushri, Avalokiteshvara, Vajrayogini, or Vajrapani. The Tantric practitioner dances in a state of deep meditative awareness in order to embody the living presence of the compassionate, peaceful, and fierce divinities.

Another type is Kumari Dance which is one of the most important Nepali classical dances since it represents one and only living goddess in this world. Kumari dance is all about describing her appearance, her features and so on.
