Kirat Yakthung Chumlung (Kiachu) has built a rice dance statue 'Takwachong Ya Rakma Ya' at Tokmedanda in the headquarters of Fungling. With the financial support of Kiachu Israel, the image of two men and two women holding hands and dancing rice was built.
Chumlung central president Prem Yakten and others inaugurated the statue on Thursday. Dhannach is a popular dance in the Limbu community. Until the development of communication, there was a trend of young men and women establishing relationship with each other and if there was no sign of relationship, they used to dance and marry each other.
Even now, there is a tradition of dancing rice when Soltasoltini meet. Kiachu District Chairperson Indira Menyangwo said that a statue was made in Tokmedanda to reflect this tradition of the Limbu community.
6.5 feet tall male and 6 feet tall female statues have Kumbhakarna Himal (Phaktanglung), Kanchenjunga and Pathibhara (Mukkumlung) engraved on the background.
