This video is of Limbu culture in Nepal.
Limbu is the family of Kirat or Kiratas confederation that includes the Rai, Yakkha and Sunuwar ethnic groups of Nepal. They were the earliest inhabitants of Nepal. Actually nobody knows when they came into Nepal because these people are mentioned in ancient religion book of Hindu like Veda, Puranas, and Ramayana and Mahabharata Epics. These people are also mentioned in ancient Greek history, Chinese history and Holy book of Sikh Guru Nanak.
Dhimal, Hayu, Koch, Thami, Tharu, Chepang, and Surel ethnic groups also consider themselves to be of Kirati descent.
In Sanskrit, Kirata means native of the land with "kiram atati bhramati yah" or one wandering over the forests.
The term 'Nepal' is first found in 'Atharva Parishista' (4th Century B.C.).
The term 'Kirat Desh' or Kirat Country is found in the earlier documents such as Veda and other ancient Hindu texts.
In ancient Veda text, the Himalayan region extending from Himachal Pradesh in the west, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Nepal, Assam and Tripura in the east to Chittagong in the south was referred as the "Kirat Desh".
The Vishnu Purano states that the chatur-varna or four class social system was absent in the Kirat Desh in the East and the Yavanas(Greek) and Kambojas(Iranian), etc. in the West. This shows that the chatur-varna(4-class system) or caste discrimination only came to exist in Nepal after the arrival of vedic Aryan from India.
Kiratas are first mentioned in the Yajurveda (Shukla XXX.16; Krisha III.4,12,1), and in the Atharvaveda (X.4,14), describing them as "mountain people and hunters in the forests and deadly warriors."
In Manu's Dharmashastra (X.44) they are mentioned as degraded Kshatriyas, which meant that they were considered to be of advanced civilization, but outside the ambit of Brahminical influence. .
Kiratas appearance in vedic literature is described as gold-like, i.e, yellow in color in skin color with the following verse.
"Kairatam vesam asthaya kancana-druma-sannibham"
Taking up a Kirata resemblance, like unto a tree of gold (IV,35,2);
This shows that Kiratas refers to all the Indo-Mongoloid people and indigenous tribe living in the Himalayas region.
The Vedas, Ramayana and Mahabharata viewed them as fearful and terrible highlanders. The Ramayana describes;
"Kiratasca tiksna-cudasca hemabhah priya-darsanah, antar-jala-cara ghora nara-vyaghra iti srutah"
upon translation is
The Kiratas, with hair done in pointed top-knots, pleasant to look upon, shining like gold, able to move under water, terrible, veritable tiger-men, so are they famed.
Though Limbus aren't Hindu, they are recognized in Hindu Society. Nepal's pre-eminent sociologist, Professor Dor Bahadur Bista, asserted that, of all the proverbial thirty-six caste and ethnic groups of Nepal, the Hindu caste system made the least impact on the Limbu. In part, this reflected not only their geographical distance from the seat of power in the capital city of Kathmandu but also their cultural independence.
Check the video "Connexion of Mongolia-Kirat:Revealing the Mystery of Origin of Phallus Stone Worship"
The relevant video of stone worshiping in Mongolia, existence of Sivaism in China and as far as Japan and comparing with that of stone worshiping by Kiratas in Nepal shows that the worshiping of stone originated from Mongoloid people and not Vedic Aryan.
