They believe that the supreme creator Etboo Debu Rum had created their progenitors the first Lepcha man Foodonthing and the first Lepcha woman, Nazangnyu from the fresh snows of Mt. Kanchenjungha, and then left them in the heaven of Mayel Lyang. They are ardent nature worshippers and practice an animist form of appeasing the spirits.
