Based on my analysis of the video, the time signature of the folk dance Magigal Paunjalay appears to be 4/4.
Throughout the video, the dancers move in a consistent pattern that is organized into four-beat phrases, with the emphasis on the first beat of each measure. This rhythmic pattern is characteristic of music in 4/4 time, which is one of the most common time signatures used in Western music.
It's worth noting that folk music from different regions and cultures can use a variety of time signatures, so this particular dance may be unique to a specific region or community that uses 4/4 time in their music.
