24 Responses to Ritual duel between a shaman and a spirit figure

  • hseapkal says:

    to clear all doubts this seems to be in western nepal (figured out their accent).A ‘magar’ tribe and the ones clanging the “jhyamtas” and beating the “damphus” are not lamas but are shamans known locally as “jhankris” pronounced jhyakris.
    the objective of all this is to scare the spirit of the departed into the nether world if it is indeed a funeral.However it could also be part of a local festival.

  • Apetail2 says:

    Very informative and interesting! ( I think this ritual was somewhere in Nepal or China or such)

  • Ochsenburg says:

  • diliprai says:

    Still today the form of Sivaism in a crude form exist in Mongolia and by Kirat people in Nepal.
    Here’s the video:
    “Connexion of Mongolia-Kirat:Revealing the Mystery of Origin of Phallus Stone Worship”
    The expansion of Indo-Aryan led to assimilation of others culture into vedic society.

  • Ochsenburg says:

    docu of high value
    great

  • miighankurt says:

    maybe they just didn’t film lamas maybe it is Macchu Picchu

  • hxc4328 says:

    I guess you missunderstood. There are some people claiming this video is in Macchu Picchu. All I am saying is “if you don’t see the llamas or Alpakas, obviously THE VIDEO is not in Macchu Picchu”

  • miighankurt says:

    Hector why are you saying there is no Lamas at Machu Pichu?

  • hxc4328 says:

    It is not Macchu Picchu, the Llamas are not present.
    However it is a nice video and informative. I loved it

  • miighankurt says:

    Machu Pichu?

  • Lissarai says:

    It is not a personal rituals, it is fact of our country but it was suppressed by rulers. On behalf of these people I thanked him who posted this clip. I want wide exposure of real world. You don’t worry about getting permission. Each of them will be happy and feel proud.

  • brseavey says:

    I was not talking about crime – sometimes people don’t like outsiders viewing their personal rituals – it is out of their control once it is on you tube. I trust you had permission from them to post.

  • Lissarai says:

    They are not doing any crime. Anyone can take photos or video. These are western Nepal’s people. These are their religion. Even Hindu ruler ruled long long but aboriginal people of Nepal are carrying on their religion and culture. I am so proud watching this video. You will feel in deep if your ancestor lived in such way.

    i like that it is a death memorial ceremony and they are dancing and making all this noise like “HEY THIS PERSON WAS HERE!!!!” way better than a somber mourning

  • noopursingha says:

  • 0misdestiny0 says:
