Lamjung, the origin of Dura Ethnic Community

Lamjung district of Gandaki Zone is one such place which is gifted with the beauty of nature and is grated with world famous mountain ranges adding to this the rich folk cultures of various castes and ethnic groups as well as a glorious history from Ango Nepalese war, Origin of Shaha Dynasty in Nepal etc. In the south west of the district lies a serpentine mountain range popularly known as Duradanda also considered as a center of educational awareness in the district.


Durandanda boasts a glorious history and has played an important role in bringing educational awareness. Dura Danda is the main dwelling place of Dura people and it is related to the establishment and history of Shah Dynasty. Since, Dura people lived here first, it is known as Dura danda. Altogether Six VDCs fall under this historical place. These VDCs are Chandreshwor, Dhusryani, Purankot, Sindure, Ratnadevi and Duradanda.


Dura ethnic group is one of those many ethnic groups economically, socially, educationally and politically backward and are also deprived of many facilities enjoyed by the people belonging to other ethnic groups. These people have been living in Duradanda for a long time. Dura people have started to live in 12 different districts of the country. But most of them are living in Turlungkot, Bhangu, Thuloswanra, Khajegaon, Kaneswanra, Baspani, Neta, Kunchha, Bardhan, Handikhola, Bhorletar, Chisangkhu, Amdanda in the district of Lamjung and Shishaghat, Ramche, Dharampani, Tanahusur, Ramthumki, Kyamin and the like in the district of Tanahun. It is said ,The Duras, today, have scattered over 12 districts from Duradanda including places like Pokhara ,Bhairawa and Kathmandu (Dura, undated).. However Dura danda of Lamjung district is the main dwelling place of these people in Nepal. View near Duradanda


Dura people have remarkable history from ancient times in the history of Nepal. Dura people had aligned with the other people to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the then Ghale rulers and establish the rule of Shah Dynasty. KHAJE DURA the brave fore father of the present Dura people was born in and had been brought up in the Khaje Gaun which was named after him. A statue of that brave forefather was built in 2033 B.S. as a tribute to him. The area around the statue is called Khaje park. The people of this area have been celebrating Khaje Dura jayanti every year on the 21st of Kartik by organizing various programmes.


The tribe of Dura are a minority indigenous people whose Language also called Dura is near extinction. Approximately 1,500 words and 250 sentences have been found so far in Dura language (Dura Seva Samaj, ibid). Animistic practices are common to them. However, some of them prefer to call themselves Buddhists and some Hindus. Round-faced, flat-nosed and short in stature, Duras have their own unique traditions and culture though their religious and cultural formalities are quite similar to Gurungs. Their sons are fitted with bows and arrows on the very day of their naming ceremonies, a fact that reflects on their martial heritage. They have no definite history of their origin. Duras use lama or ghyabring, a shaman, to perform death rites.Only Surviving Speaker of Dura Language , 83 years old Soma Devi Dura (Right) .But its so sad she neither replies nor she hears what you said.she is deaf.

Duras are of five types, ie five clans. Marriage does not take place among the thars (clans) like Dhingal, Pache and Darde. Similarly, marriage does not take place between Puhi and Kyausa. But marriage can take place between Dhingal, Pache and Darde and Puhi and Kausa groups. Marriage is done both by arrangement and by mutual agreement between the boy and the girl in question. The son of father's sister can marry the daughter of his maternal uncle. But the son of maternal uncle cannot marry the daughter of father's sister.


In the naming ceremony it is customary among the Duras to hang a bow on the shoulder of the child like Gurungs. Duras celebrate the happy occasion of the birth of the first born son by merrymaking with the relatives from maternal home. This celebration is called 'putpute'. The practice of merrymaking by sitting in rodi and by singing and dancing is found among the Duras as well. They get the rituals observed after death of someone in the family. The death rites are performed by Lama or by ghyabring (Gautam and Thapa Magar, 1994:200). Sarbodaya School, Duradanda, Lamjung


Duras depend on agriculture and animal husbandry for their livelihood. The practice of parma (a form of labour exchange) is prevalent among them. The teams of parma are called huri and feasts are organized from the proceeds of the wages earned by the huris. This practice of eating together is called risiya eating. Women in Dura society are treated with respect and they are free to run their pewa or privately-owned business, to do other works of their interest and enjoy humour by playing jokes. Although there is no social discrimination against women, they are not entitled to share of the inherited property.
