Kirat Mundhum, also called Kiratism or Kirantism, Yuma Samyo or Yumaism, is the religion of the Kirat peoples of Nepal. The practice is also known as Kirat Veda, Kirat Veda, Kirat-Ko Veda or Kirat Koved. According to some scholars, such as Tom Woodhatch, it is a blend of animism, Saivite Hinduism, and Tibetan Buddhism. It is practiced by about 3.6% of the Nepali population. Before it was recognized as a religion on the Nepali census, 36% of the Kirati population claimed to follow the Kirant religion, but when it was recognized this figure increased to 73.9%, a 157% increase in the Nepali Kiratis.
The Limbu people have their own distinct religion, known as Yuma Samyo or Yumaism; they believe in the Supreme Almighty goddess Tagera Ningwaphuma.
