Dhimals

Dhimals live on the peripheries of the districts of Morang and Jhapa. Because of their facial features, language and religious practices, they are called the Limbus of the Nepalese plains. However, anthropologists place them next to the Meches. But, even if they are plainspeople, Dhimals have the characteristic habit of exhibiting the quick temper and unwarranted aggression that is often associated with the Limbus of the eastern hills. Dhimals have their own unique language, dress preferences and culture. They are fond of music, with a trace of the Rajbanshi ethnos. They bury their dead. Farming is their specialization.
