Template:Short description Template:Infobox religious text Mundum (Kirat Rai: मुन्दुम) is the sacred oral tradition and indigenous spiritual philosophy of the Kirat Rai people. Transmitted orally by shamans and ritual specialists it preserves creation myths, ancestral genealogies, ethical values, customary laws, and ritual knowledge. Mundum explains the relationship between Paruhang, Sumnima,ancestral spirits, humans, and the natural world. It guides ceremonies for birth, marriage, healing, agriculture, festivals, and funerals, emphasizing harmony with nature and the spirit world. As the foundation of Kirat Rai religion and culture, Mundum safeguards indigenous identity, language, history, beliefs, and traditional knowledge across generations.[1] [2] [3]
