Description:On the fifth day of the Wadhangmi festival, the Chambak priests, after their domestic rituals, ritually proceed to the house of Bal Prasad Tele, where further rites are performed. The session records the procession through the fields, accompanied by drummers. The sound and video quality therefore is not very good.
The chambak brothers BBR and BhR hold their ritual sword in front of them and walk in a procession to the Tele house, where they stop in the courtyard, chanting together, accompanied by drumming.
The language used is Chintang ritual language, a particular register of ancestral speech.
The two Chambak brothers BBR and BhB act together in this session.
He is member of the Tuprihang clan. Like his elder brother BhB he is a Chambak, i.e. a tribal shaman, who goes into trance during certain occasions. Both brothers live in adjoining households.
Dr. Gaenszle is the researcher in charge of ethnography.
Mr. Netra Prasad Paudyal is a native speaker of Nepali. He did his MA in Linguistics, based on field research on Darai, and endangered Indoaryan language of Nepal. He worked as a research assistant in the Chintang and Puma Documentation Project.
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 occasions.
