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.
