Choimus Or Chomush Winter Festival Festival is coming, are you ready?

Choimus Winter Festival is among the four festivals that the people of Kailash celebrate. UNESCO listed Kailash culture as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage” in November 2018. The event is celebrated with dances in circles around bonfires and singing Choimus songs. The girls wear intricate costumes with dresses made of cowry shells, coins, and beads. Other pieces of jewelry include necklaces made from apricot kernels, a traditional gift during Choimus. Women often paint their faces with ink (replacing earlier customs of facial tattooing).

Just before the main festival, seasonal foods are offered to the ancestral spirits, and lights are lit for the ancestors. During the festival, purity is of the utmost important factor, and celibacy is enforced throughout the days of the event so all the people will be in pure mind when Balmain visits the valley. All the people must be cleansed in ritual bathing the week before the festival begins. During the men’s purification ceremony, men are not allowed to sit down during the whole day. Special bread is cooked away from the main village and is prepared by men only during the purification ceremony. Other bread called Jaou or Choimus bread is prepared for the festival, which is stuffed with crushed walnuts and goat’s cheese.
