Abstract
Limboo (Exonym) the autochthonous tribes of the southern part of the Eastern Himalayas in Sikkim, Darjeeling district of West Bengal, Assam, Eastern Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar (Burma). The original Limboo culture not only came in contact with the alien culture but in the course of time influenced by them. The undercurrent has both implicit and explicit impact on the original Limboo culture, tradition and religion. They consider themselves as a nature worshipper, and have their own mythology (Mundhum), and healer or priest known as Phedangba, Samba, Yeba, Yema. Today, Limboo beliefs and practices are also called Yumaism. Melanie Pappadis, in her book Limbu Folklore (1993) stated-that Limboo believes that the god resides in nature and, therefore, has a very animistic view of nature and its elements. They are free from any icons or images of god, and they separate to themselves from Hinduism and Buddhism.
