Among Hindu Newars, there are four Varna (social class), Brahman, Chetri, Vaishya and Shudra along with different castes within these Varnas while in Buddhist Newars there are no such classes of Varnas like that of Hindu Newars. There is caste system on the basis of occupation in Buddhist Newars Rajopadhyay and Dhwobarmhu are the priests among Hindu Newars where as Gubhaju are the priests in Buddhist Newars. Many sacraments are conducted throughout the birth till the death of a human life. The sacraments performed at the end of a human life is called as Death Rites. There are provisions of Sanaa Guthi, Sii Guthi and Bichaa Guthi to deal with death rites in Newar Community. The fear of death, the concept of life after death, the fear and love for the dead person and the need to manage physical remains of the dead are considered a few reasons for conductingdeath rites. Newar community have different unique activities related to death rites, for example: offering Sikayaa bwo, hanging Pakhajaa, offering Nhyenuma and Jaapwon khayegu etc. for the deceased.
