Description:An offering of to the hearth stones as part of a series of rituals in the house of the chambak (shaman) on the second day of the Wadhangmi festival
The offering to the hearth stones is done by the chambak (shaman) BhB, accompanied by a clan brother. The offering consists of rakshi (local brandy) poured from a bronze plate. Each of the three hearth stones is addressed by name.
The language used is Chintang ritual language, a particular register of ancestral speech.
The chambak invited the team to record this session in his house and courtyard.

He is member of the Tuprihang clan. Like his younger brother BBR he is a Chambak, i.e. a tribal shaman, who goes into trance during certain occasion.
