@MrRaibaba yes that is absolutely true. Rai is family of Kirat. Others include Limbu, Dhimal, Yakkha, Sunuwar, Hayu, Jirel,...etc.

watch these videos for enlightenment --> " KIRATISM: Prayer of Earth And Nature "

and --> " Kiratas: the Himalayas Race "

@diliprai, just a query mate. i was told by few Rai Relatives of mine that RAI are not Hindus or nepali ( as national). We are a race from himalaya with own religion and homeland. is it true?

Google "Vedic Aryan entry into Nepal" by Shiva Raj Shrestha "Malla" and read.

It gives some insight into Kirat History and our religion.

Sakela other name is Chandi to worship and thanks Chandika(Durga).

Swami Prajnananda says "Savarotsava is Durga Puja. Swami Abhedananda remarks that Durga was orshipped by Savar, Barbar Pulinda caste. She was addicted to meat and wine, etc. The Chandipuza of autumn season was therefore called Savarotsava.............Durga and Chandi were

the goddess of the Kirata caste. So Durga other name is Kiratini. ~ Kamakhya temple By Kali Prasad Goswami

The Sanskrit dictionary, (Monier-Williams) explains Matamgi as names of  the mythical mother of elephant tribe; a Candala

or Kirata woman; name of a form of Durga, and further as one of the ten mahavidyas and as the mother of Vasistha.

Matamga means elephant, Candala (man of the lowest rank) or Kirata(mountainer, babarian), and the name of the serpent demon.
