Description:On the sixth day of the Wadhangmi festival the chambak priests have to "collect" the leaves which they sprinkled on the second day. The recording took place in the same households of two chambak brothers as the recordings of the second day. This is in the household of BhB.
The "collection" of the leaves is a complementary ritual to the tupla phema (sprinkling the leaves). Its process is very similar.
The ritual is in ritual language.
BhB is the performer of the ritual, who invited the team to his house.
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.
Dr. Gaenszle is the researcher in charge of ethnography.
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.
