the First Human Couple and other essential things for their use from
Mt. Khangchendzonga. And till now old Lepcha
from villages believe that there is a track in Tolung Valley which leads
the luckiest person to NYE-MAYALYANG where one can find all types of
vegetation, crops, animals live in harmony along with a human couple
who become older as the day passes. A Lepcha was considered as a
Medicine man in olden days among the neighbours because these people
knew the use of various plants. Even great writers like Mr. J. D,
Hookers has also mentioned in his book during eighteen century about
this tribe.
Lepcha of today believe, worship and celebrate a festival called
Tendong Hlo Rum Faat which falls on 8th August of every year as one of
the Lepcha clan believe that they were saved because of Tendong Hill
during the great deluge. Likewise, different Lepcha clans have their
own Mountain to worship because of which they were saved. Thus each
clan has a spiritual and physical connection with their particular
Mountain in their daily lives. After the arrival of Namgyal Dynasty
from Tibet in 1640, worship of Mt. Kangchendzongna was motivated to
the Buddhist way and is called at present days, PANG LHABSOL where
initially, LEPCHA PRIEST has to perform worship rituals which will
then be followed by the Buddhist way by demonstrating Mask and
Monastery rituals. They still believe that killing of animals, making dirty around,
snatching forest things and making louder noise will certainly bring
GOD’s unhappiness and curse to those who do not follow the rules of in
God’s place, especially at high altitudes, wild places, rivers and
lakes. If someone desires to take something from the wild, then he has
to seek permission from the Nature God and then take without harming
others.
