For locals, the Bhunda practice is nothing unusual — in fact, for them it is as old as the hills. But for strangers, the rope trick was a crazy ritual that could have plunged Kunwar Singh, a traditional 'Beda' man, into the jaws of death had he fallen from the rope into the deep nullah.
But he did not. Kunwar performed the rope trick for the eighth time. Interestingly, if Kunwar, who belongs to Lohar caste (family of silversmiths) performs the rope trick 19 times, his family will become twice born — Dvij, the Brahmins. Bhunda narmedh (human sacrifice) mahayajna went almost unnoticed all these years.
In 1996, Bhunda was performed in Pujarli village in Rohru tehsil after a gap of 30 years. In fact, Bhunda has been a part of the culture of the erstwhile Rampur Bushaihar state and Nirmand, now in Kulu district.
