There is an interesting legend about Yomari Purnima. According to legend, a philanthropist named Suchandra and Dharmatma Maharjan lived in Panchal Desh (now Panauti).One day, to test his kind nature, the devotee of Lord Vishnu went to Suchandra’s house in the guise of a poor Brahmin to beg. Suchandra’s wife reverently fed the Brahmin-like Kuver Yomri, which she had prepared.Pleased with his hospitality, Kuver showed his true form and explained the virtues of Yomri and the method of offering Yomri by worshiping Shri Ganesh, Kuver and Lakshmi in a rice bowl.Accordingly, the Suchandra couple offered Yomri rice to Bhakari and after four days distributed it as an offering, their wealth increased and the reason for eating Yomri was getting better. It is said that Yomari has been celebrated since that time

What is Yomiuri?

Yomari -Notes Nepal
Yomari

In Newari, ‘yo’ means favorite and ‘mari’ means bread or dessert. According to culturologists, it is named Yomiuri because it is popular with everyone.Yomri is also considered as a symbol of Kuver and Ganesha. This day is also celebrated by the Newar community as Sakimana Punhi i.e. Pindalu Usinne Purnima.On the day of Yomri Punhi, it is customary for a housewife to purify and make Yomri by keeping rice flour, knife, sesame, meat, gundpak and food.

The culture of Yomiuri Punhi

Before cooking yomri to eat on the day of yomri punhi, Newars make two yomri in large size. One of these two Yomris is called ‘Mayo’ and the other is called ‘Bio’. Mayo represents mother and bio represents father, said Satya Mohan Joshi, a culturologist.  The size of these two Yomri is also different. “Mayo is triangular and when cooked, lentils (meat, mung bean, etc.) are placed in it without a knife or sesame seeds,” he said. It is cooked with a knife and a mixture of sesame seeds. Yomari, a small size like bio, is also made for eating.

It is customary to worship the house after making the necessary Yomari and taking it to Dhukuti. Similarly, Kumar, Ganesh and other deities in front of his house are worshiped by offering yomri. Only after the completion of all these methods is Yomari eaten on the day of Punhi as an offering to God.

In terms of weather, the day before Yomri Punhi is the longest night of the year. Therefore, there is a saying that when making yomri, its beak can be made as sharp as it can be. The Nepali-speaking people get up in the middle of the night on the day before Yomri Punhi and start cooking Yomri.

Such is the legend

It is said that Yomari  has been celebrated since that time.

Why is Yomari eaten?

After Dasantihar, winter gradually begins to increase in Kathmandu Valley. The amount of winter also increases with the onset of drought.In Sakimana Punhi, the Newars get the energy and heat required by the body by eating pidalu and fried nuts.Satya Mohan Joshi, a culturologist, said that the practice of eating hot food like a knife and sesame seeds in hot bread in cold weather cannot be considered as a festival or culture in any way.

How to cook Yomari ?

To make yomri, rice is turned into flour. Put pure ghee on rice flour and cover with hot water.The back should be covered with a mask. The flour involved should be shaped to suit yourself. Shaping the dough forms a yomori.Yomiuri’s work is skillful. Yomiuri is not made without skill. The size of the yomeri you prepare, you have to get your hands on the flour.The dough should be pierced with the index finger. As you move your fingers, the lump of flour becomes thinner. The thin lump turns into a conch.In the middle, it becomes a hollow space like a wine glass. A mixture of sesame flour and Ledo knife is put in the empty space. It should be cooked with vaporization as if it was cooked by closing the mouth.

As soon as we say ‘tongue piercing procession’, we remember the biscuit procession celebrated at Bode in Madhyapur Thimi. During the tongue piercing procession, many people had to be fed and the arrangements for the procession had to be made by themselves. It costs a lot .In Thimi, ghosts, phantoms and vampires used to cause grief. The Tantric man practiced Balkumari to drive away the same demon. He pierced his tongue to show his courage. He frightened the ghost. And they ran away.It is in this belief that the tongue is pierced here. They try to drive away ghosts by showing courage.

The person piercing the tongue must be of the best lineage of Madhyapur Thimi. At first, the person must be ready to pierce the tongue. The committee is consulted after someone decides to pierce the tongue. One month in advance, a good day is chosen and it is reported that the non-worker has to make a grandson (suiro). The person who pierces the tongue goes to take the pooja when he goes to report.It is kept soaked in pure mustard oil for about 3 weeks so that it will not be eaten by non-workers. In this procession, a grandson with three arrows is made.

On the day of the full moon, the tongue is pierced. Worship is held at Balkumari temple eight days before that. It is called ‘Dya: Dusalegu’. This means that the deity is brought to the place where the tongue is pierced by sadhana.Four days before the procession, Phima (then state manager) of Laiku, Thimi, goes to the Hanumandhoka palace and takes the royal sword and puts it in a ‘Dabali’.One day before the procession, ‘Choilbhu’ takes place. A feast is offered with the sacrifice of a red rooster. Yenya Punhi, i.e. full moon, is worshiped in Balkumari in the morning by wearing Duta No. (Jama). People who pierce their tongues go hungry all day long. You should not talk to anyone.

After worshiping from Balkumari, a crescent-shaped continent (Vye) is made. In the evening, there is a procession from Balkumari to Digubhairav. The lights are on.After coming from there, Bhairav ​​is worshiped in Digubhairav ​​temple in the presence of Guru (Jaman: a person of Thar). It is believed that a person who pierces his tongue after worship attains divine power. From there, the tongue piercer is grabbed by two people, walks backwards in front of Bhairav ​​and is taken to the ‘Dabali’. At this time, Jaman: Guru, Nay: Pama, Nakarmi, etc. are present in the ‘Dabali’.The person who puts the needle is called ‘Kaminayo’. Kaminayo also worships Bhairav. In the same way, they come back to the double. A 10-inch-long needle made by a non-worker pierces the tongue. Then the person piercing the tongue is asked to carry the vae (continent). It is done around the city as per his wish. Thimi, Nagdesh, Bode and other places are visited by Balkumari temples.According to the wishes of the person piercing the tongue, Changunarayana and Pashupati have been visited first.

A person who pierces the tongue also has two yams. This trident-shaped lamp is lit by the Manandhar community.It is believed that it will drive away the ghosts hiding in the house.The one who pierces the tongue comes to the child in a circle. There, Caminayo pulls the needle out of his tongue. Then Jamanah (Guru) puts the soil of Nasadya (Nityanath) complex in the hole of the tongue. It is believed that the wound does not heal and heals quickly.After pouring the soil, one rests at the nearby Mahadev Pati. In the evening, a feast is served to the participants of the procession. The next day, in the Balkumari temple, Dya: Lit Tavanegu i.e. immersion worship is performed. On this day, the grandson (Suiro) who pierced his tongue as ‘Natu Puja’ is knocked inside the Balkumari temple. In the Bode Biscuit procession, the grandson stumbles in the same way at the Mahalakshmi temple.

There is no written record of when the sexual tradition began. Looking at the nature of the needle that crashed into the temple premises, it is seen that the tongue was pierced more than 350 years ago.More than one person can pierce the tongue if they wish in this procession.Once the tongue is pierced, the needle is placed in a different place. Looking at the nature of the needle that crashed into the temple, it is seen that 17 people pierced their tongues in the same year. ‘

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.Bhairav ​​is worshiped with importance in Indrajatra. Even in this procession, the tongue piercer takes power by practicing Bhairav

How is Natucha made?
As it is used on human tongue, the process of making natucha is different from normal. Natucha making starts a month in advance.The soft iron rod is melted down to form a traditional Natucha shape. There is a different method of making a sword shape in the shape of a sword at the top and a beak shape at the bottom.Once the natucha is formed, grease is applied on it. Then it is wrapped in cotton and greased again. Then Natucha is cut into nhap (a small bamboo stick) and put inside. Covered with cotton and grease, it is kept closed in bamboo for more than a week. Doing so will destroy the chemical elements in the iron and make the iron soft. Then, four days before the pilgrimage, it is taken out and dipped in pure mustard oil. The oil softens the nucleus and easily penetrates the human tongue
