Yakkha (Dewan) ni beauty
Marriage Rite:
The most important feature of the Tagadhari marriage, which is distinctly different from the practices of the Kiratas, is that the main marriage ceremony takes place in the house of the bride whereas it takes place in the groom's house among the Kiratas. Finally about death rites.
Death Rite:
The Kirata communitities ususal practice of the disposal of dead is by burial, not by creamtion.
Points to be taken:
Regarding Yakshas or Yakkhas, Jack Finegan of Princeton University mentions in his book of the Archeology of World Religion that the Archaeological Museum of Mathura has a statue of Yaksha or Yakka. It is said that it is the oldest known Indian stone sculpture and is eight feet, eight inches high. The Sanskrit word, “Yaksha†or, “Yakkha†was perhaps originally a non-Aryan or at any rate a popular designation signifying practically the same as the Aryan Deva.
The term "Dewan" is not a clan name of a Yakkha nationality. Dewan was a title given by the Shah Kings to Yakkha village chiefs.
When Aryans first saw the kirat-ashur people in India, they found them as enlightened like themselves and called them Devas or gods or civilized people. In the region of veda, it is mentioned that the deities in the main is conceived as humans. The names for gods appear in Sanskrit as Deva, meaning enlightened one. Another designation used for deity in Rig veda is Ashur or Assura. But in Yajur veda, Athar veda and subsequent Vedic literature, the Ashur-kirat people fought against the Aryans and therefore, they were thought as evils. They classified them as vratya – kshatriyas.
In the Mahabharta epic, the Yakkha who were who were bravely fighting against the Indo-Aryan invasion, for the protection of their lands and self existence were label as "Rakshyasha"(demon). It is claimed that the ethnonym "Yakkha" as per the conqueror Aryan's Sanskrit grammar had been spelled in the Aryan-Hindu mythologies as "Yaksa-sh" >> "Yasha"
The Yakkha(Yasha) who were protecting(Rakshya) of their land were label Rakshya + Yasha = "Rakshyasha" is given from excerpt of Mahabharata section 3:152.
The territory of Yakshas(Yakkha) is mentioned as the region surrounding the Kailasa mountains and Manasa lake (Tibet) in the Himalayas.
In Section 3:152 describes Pandava Bhima's expedition to this territory:-
"Bhima saw in the vicinity of the Kailasa cliff, that beautiful lotus lake surrounded by lovely woods,
and guarded by the Rakshasas." referring to the Yakkha, Kiratas.
Hence Yakkha has been guarding Nepal sovereignty since the early time. Now all of us are needed again to Rakshya our Bumi against the real Rakshyash who have entered our southern border.

Birth Rite:
The Kirata birth rites are basically three: the naming, the rice-feeding and the hair-cutting ceremonies of which the last is performed only for the male. The first ceremony takes place on the fourth day for a boy and a third day for a girl amonst the Limbus and Yakkhas and sixth and fifth days respectively for the Rais. The next important birth ceremony of the Kiratas is the rice feeding. This takes place during the fourth month for a boy and third month for a girl among the Limbus/Yakkhas and on the sixth and fifth month respectively for the Rais. The naming ceremony, called nwaran, takes place on the eleventh day in the case of Tagadharis. The naming ceremony among them depends on the exact time of birth and positions of the stars. The day on which this ceremony is to take place is therefore decided by the astrologer. The rice-feeding ceremony for the tagadharis which is called pasni normally takes place during the seventh month for a boy and fifth month for a girl. The final birth ceremony of the Kiratis is the hair-cutting ceremony which normally takes place when the chlid is three. The cutting of the hair
