Brahmins and Dalits plant Jamara together
NUWAKOT, SEP 29 -
Locals of Nuwakot district have presented an example by keeping jamara
for both the people of dalit and Bramhan communities in the same place
at a time when human violence and various types of discriminations
have gripped the society due to the caste system.
According to priest Ishwor Poudel, people of dalit, indigenous and
bramhan communities have jointly grown jamara, shoots grown of seeds
of various grains used in the Dashain festival, at the temple of
Niranjana Bhagawati in Belkot VDC-3 on the first day of Dashain.
Around 100 households have sown jamara by offering sacrifices of billy
goat to the Bhagawati.
Locals said they have kept jamara jointly at a place to give a message
that caste makes no difference in this age, and this has increased joy
among the people.
Meanwhile, jamara has been kept at three places on Wednesday from
government level in the district. Jamara has also been kept at the
Seven Storied Palace National Museum and the Taleju temple. RSS
