Ursprung Bearbeiten
Ich habe folgendes Zitat, angeblich aus dem Buch Treasures of the Thunder Dragon: A Portrait of Bhutan von Dorji Wangmo Wangchuk, Königin von Bhutan:
- There is a legend about the origin of the Layap and especially about their unique way of dressing. It is said that the Layap originally lived in the south of Tibet in a region that sometime during the 15th century was visited by a series of catastropies. Obviously the area had come under a terrible curse. How could this terrible curse be broken?
- At that time in order to break a spell of misfortune it was the normal practice to carry out a ceremony similar to a voodoo practice. A doll image was created out of clay or bread dough, dressed in black, prepared as a scapegoat for the misfortune. The curse and misfortune would then be symbolically laid upon this doll which was then driven out of the region.
- But at the time of all these catastropies the people felt that a doll could not be enough to bear the weight of such a heavy curse…. human scapegoats had to be found. The choice fell upon the entire population of one village. These unlucky persons had to be clothed in strange black costumes including the pointy hat, just like the voodoo dolls.
- They were then banned, bearing with them the curse and misfortune that had afflicted the area. The unfortunate persons wandered homeless until they came to the valley at the foot of the mountain Masagang. As they saw the beautiful area, they exclaimed “La Ya!” and decided that Laya should be the name of their new home.
Die Story erklärt auch, warum die Laya konische Hüte tragen, wenn die Hüte nicht mehr getragen werde3n, kommt das Unglück (Fluch, curse) über ihre Gemeinschaft.
