Bhume Naach of Kham people in Nepal
Bhume Naach / Bal puja is one of the festivals celebrated by the Kham Magar people from the mid-western part of Nepal. The term ''Bhume'' means 'Earth' and ''Naach'' means 'dance' in the Nepali language. The Kham people practice a religion that worships the land (''bhumi puja''), water sprouts (''shim''), forests (''ban puja'') and weather, asking for better crop yields and cattle. Bhume Naach is a folk dance which is performed around a fire to worship the Earth. The ''Kham'' people believe that the Earth is God. Earth is considered to be the mother and protector which provides shelter, food and sustenance for everyone. To make the Earth happy, people perform the dance from mid-May through mid-June. The main celebration takes place during the first week of June.
==The Party==
During the celebration of ''Hume Natch'' young boys and girls are selected by the leader of the village and sent to a hill or mountain to collect water, soil, and a colorful assortment of flowers deemed holy by the villagers. The boys carry colorful flags and a ''patho'' (baby goat/kid); the girls carry holy water and assorted food. After collecting water, soil and flowers, three flags are attached to a huge timber to fly on the mountaintop. After spending fifteen days on the hills or mountains, the children then worship the Earth, sacrifice the ''patho'', and return to the village on the first day in June, which is also the first day of the celebration.
Upon their return, the young boys and girls tie three bright colorful flags on a timber pole and place it upright on the ground. They enjoy singing, dancing and playing a ''modal'' (a local musical instrument), and drums. The villagers celebrate and welcome the children by playing drums and another local instrument called the ''senate''. The celebrants then take another ''patho'' to the river to wash prior to the sacrifice. Following the sacrifice, the goat, believed to have gone to paradise, is taken to the center of the village. Its neck is adorned with pieces of cloth of a red, yellow, green, and white color. These symbolize the Earth (mother of this indigenous community), happiness, peace, and love. The girls adorn themselves with clothes of the same colors upon their shoulders and around their necks, while performing songs and dances.
