Worship Paruhang as our Patron God

Paruhang, also called Ninamma, 'Father', is the sky god of the Rai, one of the Kirati peoples of the eastern Himalaya, and the lord of flowers. As the husband of the earth goddess Sumnima he is held to be creator, preserver and sustainer of the Rai, and is sometimes equated with the Hindu Shiva.

In the silli dances of the Sakela festival, ancestors such as Paruhang and Nayuma are enacted.
