Limbu Ni beauty.
How can you distinguish Limbu house from Rai house?
Answer: "The only difference, though rather important culturally, between a Limbu and a Rai house is that the latter has a separate room for the household deity.
This room is normally located on the top floor though it may also be located at the middle floor. The Rai houses also have separate hearths made of three stones erected vertically and non-Kiratas are not allowed to go or sit near them." ~ By Tanka Bahadur Subba(Politics of culture: a study of three Kirata communities in the eastern Himalayas)
