Lomba for the people from Paro and Haa is the most important celebration in their life. It is believed to be an occasion for rejoicing not only in one particular house but also through out the community. It is like all the happy occasion rolled in one: a new year for the community, a common birthday, a food festival and community festival.
It is believed that in the earlier days, people spent most of the year working trying to feed themselves and to pay the heavy taxes and this occasion gave them the break away from the rudimentary live and moment to cherish with the family and community by engaging in feasting and traditional sports like Archery and Khuru. Particularly in Haa the occasion is marked by preparation and consumption of Hoentay, a sort of signature dish from that particular place.
Like any other occasion it is one of the important festival or occasion for the people from Paro and Haa and it is up to us, the younger generation to continue and pass on to the next generation.
