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.

This stone remains invisible since it is placed underground. The Stones in our Sanctum/Hearth provide a geometrical axiom that gives it balance and equilibrium to harness spiritual energies. The outer perimeter is known as the Saanglaakhepbu while the flat stone undern...
