Religion
Low production levels and contingency in hunting make the
Lhobas highly dependent on nature. In their religious belief
in which nature is worshipped, sky, mountain, water, tree,
wind, rain and thunder are all endowed with human intelligence,
and they communicate with humans through wizards and witches.
For thousands of years, the Lhobas have gained food and
fortune from nature and they pay homage to nature through
pious worship. In a way, they have identified their spiritual
belief with the high mountains and deep valleys of the Himalayas.
Now when another spring comes around quietly to Lhoba villages
in the depth of the mountains, many beautiful government
funded houses have already risen above the ground. Village
schools have also been constructed to promote their educational
levels. A brighter future is unfolding before every Lhoba's
eyes.
