Worship Sumnima as our Patron God

Sumnima, also called Hengkhamma, is the supreme goddess of the Rai, one of the Kirati peoples of the eastern Himalaya. She is Mother Earth and ancestral mother, wife of the sky god Paruhang, and the pair are the Rai's creator and sustainer deities, sometimes equated with the Hindu Shiva and Parvati.

Her worship belongs to the Sakela festival, held twice a year at sowing and harvest, when the Rai thank Mother Nature and their ancestors with offerings and dance.
