Dumji Festival in Namche Bazar | Sherpa Culture
Sherpas celebrate Dumji from the seventh to the thirteenth days of the fifth month. On the tenth day, they celebrate the birth anniversary of Guru Rimpoche on a lotus flower. Another day is commemorated in memory of the attainment of enlightenment of Lama Sangwa Dorje. This festival serves as a religious and community duty to bring the villagers together. The responsibility for this festival falls on every household once or twice in a lifetime depending on the number of houses in the village. In the villages like khumjung, Pangboche, Namche and Thame, eight families a year get a turn to host the Dumji but each village has its own style of doing Dumji.
