kirat community where the guests must drink their liguor immediately after they are served

 Torempa is an ancient Kirati man.He prefers much liquor(wasim/ummak).

According to a myth, Torempa is hosted by his relatives angpa-angma(samdhi-samdhini) with liquor. But he does not seem to be content with the liquor.


Torempa put his head in the pot of liquor when angpa-angma were out of their house. He could not take out his head from the lid of the pot which made him died there itself.


So there is a belief in the kirati community where the spirit of Torempa hunts the people in the form of dizziness and stomach paining.

Indeed, there is a ritual practice in the kirat community where the guests must drink their liguor immediately after they are served, otherwise Torempa might suffer spiritually.
