The event was facilitated by personalities including Indreni Society Chairman Krishna Kandel, singers Saroj Lamichhane, Yuvraj Chaulagain, and singer Shila Ale.

The spokesperson for the National Folk Communication Workers Nepal, Shikhar Jang Shrestha, welcomed the cast and started the Deusi bhatyaune (chanting the traditional verses). Following him, singer Saroj Lamichhane chanted a welcome Deusi. Director Deepak Prasad Acharya then spoke about the film and chanted Deusi verses incorporating special phrases related to 'Paran'. Actress Keki Adhikari also chanted Deusi while singing a Tihar song.
