The Chasok Tangnam, or 'Nwagi Festival', celebrated by the Kirat community of eastern Nepal, has begun. Nature worshippers are required to offer newly ripened crops to the deity in the form of nature and eat them only after offering them, said Hangmaya Lechharbo Limbu, chairperson of Yakthung Chumlung. She said that the festival was started by celebrating them collectively as per this tradition.
४२ प्रतिशत लिम्बू समुदायको बसोबास रहेको ताप्लेजुङमा याक्थुम चुम्लुङको आयोजनामा सदरमुकाम फुङलिङमा सोमबार र्याली शुभकामना आदानप्रदान लगायतको कार्यक्रम आयोजना गरिएको थियो । कार्यक्रममा यालाङ, केलाङ, धान नाच, च्याब्रुङ नाच, हाक्पारे लगायतका प्रस्तुति भए । लिम्बू समुदायको विशेष पर्व भन्दै फुङलिङ नगरपालिकाले सोमबार सार्वजनीक बिदा पनि दियो । संघीय र प्रदेश सरकारले भने मंसिर १८ गतेका लागि बिदा दिएका छन् । ताप्लेजुङमा पाँच वर्षदेखि मंसिर १ गतेकै दिन याक्थुङ चुम्लुङले र धान्ने पूर्णिमाको दिन किरात याक्थुङ चुम्लुङले चासोक मनाउँदै आएका छन् ।
संघीय सरकारले दिएको बिदा ढिलो गरी हुने र नयाँ अन्न खान थालिसकेको हुनाले प्रकृति रिसाउलान् भनेर मंसिर १ गतेको दिनलाई नै न्वागी खाने दिनको रुपमा मनाउन थालिएको याक्थुङ चुम्लुङ अध्यक्ष हाङमायाले बताइन् । याक्थुङ चुम्लुङका केन्द्रीय सदस्य जसबहादुर लिम्बूका अनुसार यतिबेला धान, कोदो, मास, मस्यामलगायतका बाली ठिक्क पाकेर ढिकुटीमा लगाएको र कसैले लगाउने तयारीको बेला रहेको छ । यतिबेला मनाए साँच्चै नयाँ बाली प्रकृतिलाई चढाएर मात्रै खान मिल्छ । ‘खाएर मनाउनु त भएन नि,’ जसबहादुरले भने, ‘साँच्चै नयाँ बाली चढाएर खाउँ भनेर मंसिर १ लाई रोजेका हौं ।’
