gurung

             The Gurungs are famous for its culture. Various studies today have, however, shown that this division is an imposition from outside, and the Gurungs are divided into various subgroups (gi) and thar not conforming to the caste system. In Gurung society, the main responsibility for managing the village administration is with the leader of the village, Chima, who, among other things, settles disputes in the village. Rodhighar is among the major identity of the social system of Gurung. Some have called the Rodhighar a house to thread wool (Gurung, 2000), while others have called it a place to settle for the night (Tamu, 1999). Whatever it means, the Rodhighar is a good example of assistance, cooperation, good relations and collective spirit among the Gurungs.
