Kiranti

Les Kirants ou Kirats sont une confédération de peuples du Népal qui regroupe les peuples Rai, Limbu et Sunuwar. Ces peuples ont en commun une langue tibéto-birmane : le kiranti.

Les Kirants suivent leur propre religion, distinct du bouddhisme et de l'hindouisme. Il croient en deux divinités suprêmes : Sumnima et Paruhang, ainsi qu'en une multitude de dieux de second rang parmi lesquels : Sakela, Sakle, Toshi, Sakewa, Saleladi Bhunmidev, Chyabrung, Yokwa, Folsadar et Chendi. Ils ont deux fêtes importants dans l'année : le Sakenwa Uvauli (pendant la saison des semences) et le Sankenwa Udhauli. Ils se disent descendre tous d'une même personne nommée Chandi.
