A book with collections of the “Mundhums” was recently published in Nepal. Mundhums are considered Vedic hymns of the Limbu community, who call the eastern hills of Nepal their home. The book named “Yakthung Samjik Mundhum” was translated into Nepali by DB Angbung. Collectors Dal Bahadur Lingden and Purna Prasad Tabebung told our Nepal correspondent Sewa Bhattarai some ten other people were involved in the project to collect these hymns from the elders of the community.
