 The Daule protects from malevolent spirits and also from the rats. A secret name is given to the Daule by the dhami.

Les Daulé protègent des esprits-prèdateurs mais aussi des rats. Un nom secret leur est attribué par le dhami.

Il Daule protegge la casa dagli spiriti maligni ma anche dai topi. Un nome segreto gli è conferito dal Dhami.

 

A wooden structure on wich the Daule are attached using various techniques.

A droite, l’axe principal sur lequel les statues peuvent etre fixées par différentes techniques.

Una struttura in legno nella quale sono attaccate usando varie tecniche i Daule.

In the center of the temple lies an abstract sculpture and a stone both show sign of blood sacrifice.

Une sculpture abstraite et une pierre sont au centre du templion. Des sacrifices sanglants leur on été offerts.

Nel centro del templio è posta una scultura dalle fattezze astratte e una pietra, entrambi mostrano i segni di sacrifici animali.

Blood stains seen on the stone and anthropomorphic sculture.

Pierre et sculpture anthropomorphe maculées de sang.

I resti di sacrifici animali si rivengono sulla pietra e scultura antropomorfa.

The Sarki caste is originally specialized in leatherwork. In more recent times, they have been working with wood. Mr Runa Sarki continues to carve wooden statues for the community.

Runa Sarki sculpte encore des statues pour la communauté. Les Sarki, à l’origine une caste spécialisée dans le travail du cuir se sont reconvertis dans d’autres domaines, en particulier le travail du bois.

La casta dei Sarki, tradizionalmente specializzata nella lavorazione del cuoio, in tempi recenti ha iniziato a lavorare anche il legno. Mr Runa Sarki scolpisce sculture in legno per le necessità della comunità

Shamanic altars displaying the bells, collars of rudraksha and a small statue of  Guro.

Uno dei caratteri del festival della regione di Humla, il soggetto rappresentato è una caricatura di una donna degli sciamani-dhamini.

Courageously the Lakhe faces the Hindu Gods.

Courageusement le Lakhé provoque et affronte les Dieux hindous.

Il demone Lakhe fronteggia coraggiosamente le divinità Hindu.

Set apart from the main groups, a masked character wearing rags plays the erratic fool. He receives much attention and respect from the spactactors.

En marge de tous le Groupes, un acteur masqé, vetu de hailons arpente la rue principale, se desarticulant en soubresauts inattendus. Lui aussi recueille beaucoup d’attention et de respect de la part de spectateurs.

Isolato dalle rappresentazioni dei gruppi maggiori di figuranti, il carattere del folle errante riceve attenzione e respetto da parte degli spettatori.

Bhakku are played by the lowest castes, on the Hindu social scale. In this example the Kami, who specialize in metal work, continue this tradition.

Les Bhakku sont incarnés par les castes le plus basses dans l’échelle sociale hindoue. De nos jours principalement les Kami, spécialistes di travail du metal et plus particuliérement du fer, poursuivent la tradition.

Some of the troop.

Une partie seulement de la troupe.
