Yomari Purnima
As the new rice is brought in, the farmers of the Valley prepare for Yomari
Purnima, an offering to the gods in thanks for the abundant harvest.
The Yomari
is a special cake made from the flour of new rice. A shell of dough is filled
with melted raw sugar ground meat or lentils and sealed. After the cake is
steamed, it is presented to the gods as offering. Later it is eaten as blessed
food.
