Description:It is last worship of all worships in Chintang. Whatever things they use in the time of worship are burnt and cooked and offered to them. After offering Pakuwa, they eat these things as a holy meal
It is last worship, which is related to offering food to deity. In this worship, village elders chant the Mundum and things, which are burnt and cooked are offered respectively.
This is a chant in the ritual language used by Chintang ritual experts. It is different from ordinary language so a few knowledgeable elders canspeak and understand partly. Its basic character is binomial.
Collector (IR) was going to village. He saw this worship accidently. He was not previously informed. Jagat Bahadur (JBR) was both householder and priest and he is popularly known as Satake. Knowledgeable elder was Ban Bir and Known as Chambak Kancha (BBR). Ban Bir chants the mundum.
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 occasion.
He is member of the Arihang clan. He knows nothing about the mundhum but he follows what the knowledgeable elder (BBR) says. In this worship, he is both householder and priest. He is popularly known as Satake because he live in the near Sadak, a village path (highway). So, Satake is derived from the word Sadak (path)
He is member of the Arihang clan and elder son of Jagat Bahadur Rai. He know nothing about the mundhum but he follows what the knowledgeable elders say. In this worship, he is both householder and priest of Daijo. His mother belonged to Walung clan so this Daijo is from the Walung clan. That's why, there is nothing except Khipmang.
Ichchha Purna is the RA for the study of ethnography of Chintang
