Every year Lomba is
observed from 29th day of the 10th month until 1st of 11th month in Lunar
Calendar, considered as their new year.
Lomba is also
gathering of families and enjoying the festivity collectively. As such
every member of the house, irrespective of where they are, will try to be
present with their family in Paro and Haa. This happy occasion is also a kind
of auspicious omen, which should stay in the family for another year till next
Lomba.
Lomba is considered
as the occasions where people of the locality eat one dish the 'Hontey', local
dumplings made only by Haap.
Hontey is associated with celebration and good fortune and,
therefore, is not made when there is a death or illness in the home.
However, people of Paro will not prepare these stuffs instead they
have their own grand food items to celebrate the occasion. It is fanfare for
Paro and Haa. Please enjoy the Day.
Happy LOMBA to all my
friends in Haa and Paro.
May
App Chundu bless you all during the occasion.
