There is a village called Hummung under Dharmadevi municipality of Sankhuwasabha. Dharmadevi has place in it. Locals also call Dharmadevi the goddess of Hummun. It is believed that Chintad Devi of Dhankuta is related to Phupu and Dharmadevi of Hummung is Bhadai. The myth regarding this is as follows:
In the beginning, there were no water sources in Hummung and people had to go far to fetch water. Apart from that, goats, pigs, chickens etc. kept by the local people were also very surprised by leopards, tigers, jackals etc. A local Jimmy, who was thinking how to get rid of this problem, was told by a young woman in a dream that I am Dharmadevi and the Bhadai of Chintang Devi. You should immediately go to Chhintang and bring a handful of mud from the place where the water flowed in the temple of Meri Phupu, spread it on a karkala leaf and place it on the mouth of Hummun’s flute, the water will grow there and become a stream that will never dry up. I will also live in the same Bansaghari. After that, water will rise in other places in your village, and wild animals will not carry it away even if they pick up goats. You are my priest, after your teaching your children are priests. But be careful, any offering burnt in my temple cannot be taken out of the Hummung area by cutting any hole around it. He who violates this rule and takes it outside will face a heavy calamity.
The very next day, Jimmy walked to Chintang. As said in the dream, the mud of Chhintang was brought to the mud of the Karkala leaf and placed in the mouth of Hummung’s flute. Looking at it, the muddy ground got soaked and soon the water broke and started flowing freely. Elsewhere in Hummung, water began to rise in places. Harassment of goats by wild animals also stopped. Whoever wishes for something and vows to Dharmadevi will get that thing. At first, if someone’s children were unable to speak, if they were restless, they would take them under the stream of Dharmadevi and pat them, then they would shout, “Hey, come on,” and then they would start to speak. According to Debi’s order, even today, the meat of ducks, chickens and goats sacrificed in Dharmadevi is cut in Thutekholo in the east direction, Muluwakholo in the southeast direction, Piluwakholo in the north direction, Kanwaukholo in the southwest direction, Lahachungkholo and Arun in the west direction.
