The Kiratas in Vedic Literature.

------------------------------­--------------

The name Kirata is for the first time found in the Yajurveda (Sukla Yajurveda, Vajasaneya, XXX, 16;

also Krsna Yajurveda, Taittiriya Brahmana, III, 4,12,1).

"The Kirat (Sanskrit: किरात) mentioned in early Hindu texts are the tribals or Adivasi of the land.

Kiratas are believed to be of Tibeto-Burman origin. Ghatotkacha of Mahabharata fame (Son of Bhima) was a Kirata Chieftain.

Jai Kirat!

Whereever we go, we have our culture. Without culture ones lives as a machine. Really, it is great feelings watching shakela in different parts of the world.
