Baraha pokhari is a destination of special faith

Barahpokhari is a destination of special faith

Occupying an area of ​​five kilometers, Barahpokhari is located 16 kilometers south of the district headquarters Diktel. Barahapokhari situated in 1700 meters above from the sea level in Khotang district east of Nepal. Anyone can visit hidden tourism destination of Khotang then explore sacred Baraha Pokhari pond and Shangkheshwar Mahadev temple which lies in Barahapokhari rural municipality of Khotang district. Crowds flock to Barahpokhari to take a dip into pond. Especially on Haribodhani Ekadashi, the two-day Mela is held around the pond. Even today, pigeons are flown here to ensure peace in life. A new species of red fish is found in Barahpokhari. It is a endanger species in the world.  Barahpokhari has been declared as one of the 100 tourist destinations of the country by the Government of Nepal.

In the middle of the forest, there is a huge pond. Whose source and exit are nowhere to be seen. The volume of the pond, which is located on the flat land in the middle of the hill, looks the same for twelve months. There is a saying that in ancient times, when a fish came out of the yard of a house and ate it by roasting it, water came out of it and 12 houses of the Magar settlement were submerged in the lake.

It takes two days to reach Barahpokhari on foot from Diktel Bazaar. Diktel, Temma, Chuichumma Boflu, Chhitapokhari, Chipring, Indreyanipokhari, Khotang Bazaar and after crossing Sawakhola you can reach Barahpokhari in about three hours. Barahpokhari is reached from Udayapur via Buwanjorghat and Kulabadh in Sunkoshi on the border of Khotang and Udayapur. From Bhojpur, it reaches there after passing through Pandhare bazar of Bhojpur.

There are plenty of local style hotels in Barahpokhari so there is no problem to stay there. Apart from food, the hotels around Barahpokhari are rich in delicacies such as celroti, sibaltarul and ghartarul etc occasionally. It is believed that worshiping Barahmai and Shankheshwar on the south side of Barahpokhari will fulfill the dream. In order to bring peace in life, it is customary to fly a pair of temple pigeons and to worship by bathing in a pool for purity.

There is a belief that one can get salvation by bathing in this pool which looks green for 12 months. It is believed that a couple who have been married for a long time and have no children can have children if they come here to worship. On the occasion of Haribodhani Ekadashi, the Mela here is especially crowded with devotees. It is also customary to sow Satbiz in the pond on Ram Navami, Shivaratri, Balachaturdashi and Maghe Sankranti.

The meat of the poor is 'Akkabare chilli' (Birosi)

There was a time when green Akkabare used to be synonymous with the meat of the poor. From our ancestors it was customary to hunt or kill and eat wild animals. Gradually, the animals began to be raised and fed. With the change of time, various things are changing. At the same time, money came into vogue. Before that it was customary to meet the need by exchanging the goods needed by one and the goods needed by the other. When the money came, it was not easy to get it. People started buying things now, but money was very important and it was just as difficult to get money.

If someone had to kill and eat a domestic animal, the meat would not be sold until another village was informed. Meat, which our ancestors have been eating, is still very popular today. So when meat is cooked, rice is eaten a lot. In this sense, Akkabare is called the flesh of the poor. After biting the chillies, the rice can be eaten sparingly and it was also compulsion too. It was customary to eat spicy chilies and eat the rice to cool down and fill the stomach.

Time is strong, when a beautiful woman doesn't look at WB Yeats, he wants to spit in the face of time, not the woman. As the saying goes, with the passage of time, everyone has access to more or less money. But even though we human beings have been going through such a situation, now we have changed like a 'Tuppibat Pala'. As much money as our leaders and some employees have, but our leaders and employees will not stop taking bribes. Is it also given by time? Or… So don't forget the roots even if you flow with time.

My experience and the season of Akkabare Birosi.

गरिबको मासु अक्कबरे खोर्सानी

एक समय एस्तो थियो जुन हरियो अक्कबरे खोर्सानीलाई गरिबको मासु भनेर पर्यायबचि शब्दले बुझाउथ्यो । हाम्रो पुर्खाहरु बाटनै सिकार गने वा जंगलीजनावार मार्ने र भोजन गर्ने चलन थियो । बिस्तारै जनावारहरु लाई द्दरपालुवाको रुपमा पालेर भोजन गर्न थालियो । समय परिवर्तन संगै बिभिन्न कुराहरु परिबर्तन हुदै आय । त्यसै क्रममा पैशाको चलन आयो । त्यो भन्दा अगाडी एकलाई चाहिएको समान र अर्कोलाई लिनदिन चाहिने समान साटासाट गरेर आवाश्यतmा पूर्ति गर्ने चलन थियो । जब पैशा आयो, त्यो पैशा पनि सजिलै पोउन सकिने अवस्था थिएन । हुने हरुले अब समान खरिद गर्न थाले तर पैशाको अति महत्व थियो र पैशा पाउन पनि तेतिकै गाह्रो थियो ।

येदि कोहि कसैले द्दरपालुवा जनावार मारेर खानको लागि अर्को गांउलाई सम्म खबर गर्दानी मासु बिक्दैन थियो । हाम्रो पुर्खा देखि भोजन गर्दै आएको मासु एकदमै मिठो भोजनको रुपमा अहिले सम्म प्रचलित छ । त्यसैले मासु पाक्दा भात धेरै खाने गर्दछ । यसैको अर्थमा अक्कबरे लाई गरिबको मासु भनिएको हो । जुन खोर्सानी टोकेपछि भात झयाम झयाम खान सकिन्छ र त्यो बाध्यतmा पनि थियो, खार्सानी खादा पिरो हने र भात खाएर सितल साथै पेट भर्ने चलन वा समय थियो ।

समय बलवान छ, कबि W B Yeats लाई सुन्दर नारीले नहेर्दा उसले समयको अनुहारमा थुक्न चाहान्छु नारी लाई होइन भनेझै आज समयले कोल्टे फेरे संगै सबैको पहुचमा धेरथोर पैशा रहेको छ । तर हामि मानिस त्यस्तो अवस्थाबाट गुजिन्दै आएता पनि अहिले टुप्प्बिाट पलाको झै गरी परिवर्तन भएका छौं । पैशा जति हुदानि हाम्रा नेता र कर्मचारीहरु द्दुस खान छाडदैनऊ । यो पनि समयलेनै दिएको हो की ? त्यसैले समयसंगै बगेपनि जरा चै नभुलऊ ।

Welcome you all to another episode of our Kachanjunga series.

Welcome you all to another episode of our Kachanjunga series. Now, we are headed to Nupchu Lake. Never seen on video before. We came to Khambachen 3 days ago, then we had hearty breakfast, we are now headed to Nupchu Lake.  Another interesting fact about today’s trip. There are 5 of us including our porter brother. But none of us has been to this lake before. We just asked directions from the locals here. They told us that it is easy to find. And we won& get lost. We just have to follow this river. The weather was very nice that day. As we slowly climbed up, Khambachen started disappearing from our view. We saw three mighty mountains in front of us. While from Khambachen, all 3 looked equal, the more we walked towards them the more Kumbhakarna Mountain loomed larger than the other two. I think we found us a happy spot. There is such a nice meadow here. And just in front, the beautiful mountains Kumbhakarna, Sobhitongje, Khaburkhonje are crystal clear. We had never expected the day would get so beautiful and we thank God for this. Midway, there is a small wooden bridge. It is an important landmark to identify the trail. Even though the trail was not clear, our hike was going well. Since the sky was clear, the surrounding landscape looked very beautiful. We walked uphill guessing the correct way. Nupchu river was our only guide. So, our Api Base camp plight has repeated here.

We expected that after crossing this hill, there will be the lake. But we just crossed the hill, and there is another hill. The locals had said that it& not that far, so we hope after this hill, we get to see the lake. But the lake didn’t come even after that. It’s repeating once again. There is a straight path after the hill, and another hill. But on that one, there is a mark - with piled stones. Chhoden sister had said that the lake would come after this stone structure. So let& hope, we are finally here. The lake seemed farther than we had initially expected. We climbed one after another hill and yet the lake didn’t come. By the time we were near the lake, we were weak with hunger. Just now, Lhakpa dai who had run ahead of us has given us a signal by waving from the top there. Finally we are near the lake. Now, only this hill remains between us. The lake is just beyond this hill. We are finally at Nupchu lake area after 4 hours of walk from Khambachen. This is the small lake. The bigger one must be over there. But before we can show you any more, since we are faint with hunger, we will have our lunch first. Nupchu Lake after lunch. We were fed up with instant noodles during our wait at Pangpema. So, no noodles and beaten rice for us anymore. We have fried rice, and big big thanks to Nupu, Chhoden, aunty and everybody from Kanchanjunga white house. To whole Chhiring family. You guys have packed us this amazing picnic even in such a difficult place. What an amazing time, to be having this food in front of the lake enjoying the Mountain View. The clouds covered the mountains not long after we had reached the lake.

But the lake looked so beautiful even with a clouded sky. This was the small Nupchu lake. There used to be 3 lakes here but one have already burst due to a landslide. Following a clear-unclear trail from Khambachen, after 4 hours of rigorous walking, we are finally at Nupchu lake. Situated just at the base of Nupchu Mountain, this is Nupchu Lake for you. Now, we have finished exploring the small Nupchu lake and so now we are headed up towards the bigger lake. The lake on the top was very big and indescribably beautiful. Many of you may or may not know this. It’s even in our bio. We are a group of photographers and videographers. There is at least one photographer with us in most of our travels. Right now, Rishav here is doing some landscape photography here. If you have any messages for us, or want to contact us or have feedbacks, the best way is through our Instagram DM. If you DM us in IG, we will try to respond as soon as possible. Just the previous day, a group of Russian tourists had lost their way while coming back to village after visiting the lake.

We were talking about how anyone could lose their way because it seemed so straight forward. But, as we were coming back, even we lost our way. Two of us have arrived at the hotel minus 3. We just put our bags away, washed our hand and feet and about to sit down. I can see some flickering lights in the distance.2-3 small beams of light. Where did you find them? Did you find the bridge? We met the brothers. Did you find the bridge? No idea. We found it, crossed it and then followed the river. What time did you guys arrive? Maybe 8.15 Oh hello brother Where& the big bag? They are carrying it. All of them were waiting for us. The shoes are all soaked. Oh mine are worse. Let& find our slippers. There may be other slippers.  Our amazing trip to Nupchu Lake ended with some epic twist. Because we lost our way. Our two guys also lost their waybut they were able to finally reach the hotel somehow. But there was no hope for rest of us. We were walking through these thorny bushes. 

And then we saw two lights at the distance. I thought it was our guys Rishav and Ashish. But they were these two young brothers. One of them is Nupu & family and another one here is Bishal. And so now I repeat this, the trail to Nupchu lake is not clear. So if you want to go there, please take a local with you. As long as the trail has not been properly made, please do it. And a special special thanks to these two young brothers here. A small appreciation from us. Thank you so much rescue team. When we met them on the trail, we were also so filled with hope finally. We sent them ahead to find rest of the team because now we could make it and were on the right track. Or is it that you keep sending people to lose their ways and these boys will earn some allowance? (joking) And with this our stay at Khambachen comes to an end. We had not planned on staying so long here. There were so many nooks to explore in here. The reason we spent so many days here is Nupu and aunty and all who let us stay like a family. Nupu was also the main reason behind our Kanchanjugna visit. Nupu and his brother Chhiring. So, once again, even though it is not enough, thank you so much. 

Now, we say farewell to Khambachen with a heavy heart. We will come again. In most of our trips, we usually build a close relationship with local sand we are treated like a family. But here in this trip, from Ghunsa to Khambachen, our bond was specially stronger with everybody we met including Nupu& family, Chhiring& family.We are a bit sad to be leaving them so soon. So, we also delayed starting up. It& already 1 in the afternoon even though we wanted to start early. We just didn't want to leave. Once again, to our family of Khambachenin the Eastern part of the country, you have a special part in our heart. Thanks for everything. We will remember your love and hospitality forever.

Extract from Ghumante

Kirat area mentioned in the verse

 Kirat area mentioned in the verse

Looking at the history of the language, among the languages ​​with a long written history, Sanskrit is found in the east and Greek and Latin in the west. In order to find history, one has to resort to works written in most of these languages. Mention of Kirat caste and Kirat civilization is found everywhere in Sanskrit literature. But Sanskrit scholars say nothing that No one except Dr. Swami Prapannacharya seems to want to discuss. The present day Nepal is a country within the Kirat civilization. No historian, poet or writer seems to have written about the Kirat civilization, which is so great and glorious. Nepal's history seems to have been built on a bundle of lies. Since every street, stream, hill and mountain here has Kirat language, the names have been Hinduized along with Prithvinarayan Shah's Gurkha expansion campaign and Prithvinarayan's successors have continued to do so till now. As mentioned in the Marutantra Himavat Khanda, the size of Kirat Desh is as follows in the Sanskrit verses.

‘किरातदेशोदेवेशि विन्ध्ये शैले च तिष्ठति ।
काश्मिरन्तु समारश्य कामरुपातु पश्चिमे ।
भोटान्तदेशोदेवेशि मानसेशाच्च दक्षिणे ।
मानसेशा पक्ष पूर्वे चीनदेशः प्रकीर्तित ।
कैलालीशं(तिर) समारश्य सरयुयोनितः परे ।
नगदेशे महेशानि महाचीनानीमिध्यो भवेत ।
नटेश्वर समारश्य योगिन्यन्तं महेश्वरी ।’

According to the verse written in this Sanskrit language, it has been explained how big the Kirat country was. The border of Kirat country extended to Vindhyachal Mountain. It stretched from Kashmir to Kamrupa in the west. It stretched south from what is now Tibet, an autonomous region of China, to Mansarovar. Similarly, in the east, it was from Mansarovar to China. It stretched from the banks of the Kailali or present-day Mahakali River to the then Saryu River in India. Kirat was spread from Nagaland or Nagdesh in India to present day Mongolia. In the southern region, the border was extended to Maheshwari through Nateshwar Yogini in India. What this evidence proves is that in ancient times the Kirat country was spread over half of Asia.

Who are the Kirats?

P.D. Gopal Shivakoti has discovered from his research that Kirat originated from Salpa pond. This is published in his research book Kirat Jati. According to him, Kirat's ancestors were in Salpahong and Ribrihong. They had three sons. Their name is:

The eldest's name is Mukabung

Myla's name is Harakbung

Kancha's name is Ribalbung.

After the death of their father and mother in Salpahong and Ribrihong, the sons moved to their respective areas. The eldest went to Mukabung Chumulung and settled on the other side. Bhote or Tibetan in the polls and Tamang and Gurung in Nepal are considered as the children of the same eldest. Myla's son Harkbung lived on this hill. He also had three sons. His eldest son is Khambu.

His descendants are considered to be all opinion writers. Myla is a Limbu who is considered to be the ancestor of the Limbu people. Kancha Koinch (Sunuwar). The Sunuwar consider him an ancestor. The younger Rebelbung went to Madhes. He also had three sons. The eldest Tharu, Myla Danuwar and the youngest Dhimal are considered. Even if all these Kirat mythologies are considered, it can be proved by looking at the surgeon even in the present situation. Voters are sitting in the polls. Who have now come and settled within the borders of Nepal. They are known as Sherpa, Tamang and Gurung castes. Myla's descendants Khambu, Limbu and Koinch are still found in the hilly geography. Kanchha's descendants Tharu, Danuwar and Dhimal are also found in Madhes. In time, someone may have fallen in India. Their caste may have changed. But the identity of Tharu Danuwar and Dhimal in Nepal is still there.

Modern Kirat history

Among the founding castes of Nepal, the Kirat caste is one of the most important castes in history. With the exception of a few ancient historians and some foreign researchers, modern Hindu historians do not seem to be interested in Kirat history and civilization. Because, they seem to have tried to prove the historian by writing hymns and chakdi of Hindu rulers. They have written about the rulers and their castes without writing about what has happened in history. The same Chamchagiri has claimed to be a historian. Western thinker Michel has said ‘Truth is determined by power’. Similarly, the so-called historians of Nepal have misled the world by covering up the truth and exposing untruths by praising their religion, caste and ethnicity. Now it has become necessary to rewrite the history of Nepal. And this remains the main task of the current identity and truth-seeking dignitaries. The record of how long and by whom the Kirats ruled Nepal is given in the history of Nepal as follows: Gopal Raj genealogy, Wright genealogy, Kirkpatrick genealogy and history publication. According to the Gopalraj genealogy and the Kirkpatrick genealogy, it is mentioned in this way.

The last Kirat land

According to the 'Marutantra Himakhanda', half of Asia was Kirat. With the development of time, many castes have forgotten that they are the people of Kirat caste or civilization. Until a few years ago, the land east of the Kathmandu Valley was called Wallo Kirat, Manjh Kirat and Pallo Kirat. Old records of some government offices contain Wallo Kirat, Majh Kirat and Pallo Kirat. It also proves that the address of the educational certificate of former Chief Election Commissioner Bhojraj Pokhrel is written as Manjh Kirat. This was debated by the presence of two-thirds of the Adivasis in the first Constituent Assembly. However, as the leadership was dominated by Hindu upper caste people of all parties, the Constituent Assembly was dissolved without drafting a constitution, devaluing the identity. In the second Constituent Assembly, the presence of Adivasis was very low. And the name and numbering of the states was done on the basis of Mahendrapath so that the constitution would be made on fast track. Therefore, Kirat civilization was insulted again.

Castes claiming Kirat

Kirat civilization is considered to be one of the oldest civilizations. How many generations of human beings have spent in the forests and caves and descended to this so-called modern age with great sacrifice and penance. They say that the earth inhabited by humans is 50 million years old. It is divided on the basis of age. Those past times have been divided into Satya Yuga, Dwapar Yuga, Treta Yuga and Kali Yuga. Among them, the present age is considered as Kali Yuga. The total age of Kali Yuga is 432,000 years. Only 5,000 years of Kali's life have passed. Evidence of the passage of 5,000 years of the Kali Yuga is considered to be the work of the Mahabharata in particular, and the beginning of the Kali Yuga is believed to have taken place from the day when the five Pandavas handed over their grandsons. The official scriptures are the Vedas and the Mahabharata. Even at that time, Kirats were found everywhere. Vedabyas has written in his biography that my birth is only Arya and I was brought up by all Kirats. This research was conducted by Dr. Swami Prapannacharya has done. Based on this, it is easy to estimate how many Kirats there were. The intervention of Hindus and the conversion of Bon Kirats to Padmasambhava or Guru Rinpoche converted them to Buddhism. The lower castes living in all religions and living in Wallo Kirat, Manjh Kirat and Pallo Kirat are called Kirats.
