Poldok

Jirel people, specially in the time of planting millet, used to have "Poldok" made from home made wine(Chhyang), and flour of Maize, Corn or Wheat as a meal. It was shaped like a ball.  Now days this culture has been vanished.

Evolution of Jirel (Kirat People Living in Jiri, Nepal)

          Jirel are the people living in the eastern part of Nepal from the very beginning.

 They have their own culture, traditions, religion, language, dress, norms and values. 

They have their own history as well.

         But, most of the people(even inside the Jirel people), are unknown about their

 history. And many people are putting their own views about the evolution of Jirel. 

The true history says that these people came sheltered at different places of Nepal. 

         A brother living around Ramechhap district are called Hayu, Another brothers

 living in and around Jiri and suri are known as Jirel and Surel respectively. Another

 brother living in Likhu Khimti are called Sunuwar. A brother living in bhojpur and 

around are known by Rai and the brother living in the far eastern region are called 

Limbu.

         But the fact is they are all the brothers from same mother. This is what I can

 write right now in short.

' kitat ko Banshawali ' 2010 BS

"Lalsinha ka santanharu Lhasa tarfa gaye
Surikhare, Jiri-sikri Sursinha ka vaye.

Ramsinha ka Shivaduti Likhu Khimti base,
mansinha ka Arunwari Dukhkoshi pase,
Dhansniha ka Arunpari tamor roke,
Panch vai ko bansale Jilla killa thoke,
Jetha tira ka uka vai Mahabharat raheka
Kirat hun ti pani Hayu vanne vayeka,
....Suri, Jiri, Sikri Jane Surel, Jirel thar,
Likhu-Khimti Shivaduti basne vanchhan Sunuwar,
Dudhkoshi tarfa jane dherai thari vai,
Vanchhan bujhilinu tinalai Kirat Rai
Arun khola pari patti tamor basnelai
limbu Subba vanchhan tinalai....."
