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 aim of the project is to provide a rich linguistic and ethnographic documentation of two highly endangered but almost totally undocumented languages in eastern Nepal, Chintang and Puma. These languages belong to the Kiranti family of Tibeto-Burman. Chintang is spoken by the Chintang Rai in Chintang Village Development Committee (VDC) of Dhankuta district. Puma is spoken by the Puma Rai in Diplung, Mauwabote and Pauwasera VDCs, to the south of Khotang bazar in Khotang district. Both these districts are situated in the eastern hilly part of the country.http://www.cpdp.uzh.ch | ||
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. | ||
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 occasion. | ||
