Kumal people

Kumal (Nepali: कुमाल) is a caste or ethnic group in Nepal, traditionally associated with pottery. Their traditional profession is endangered due to competition from cheaper, more durable industrial pots. Fewer youths learn the skills. They are found to inhabit in the Terai, inner Terai and Mid-hills close to the riverbanks where bioresearches are rich to continue to their traditional occupation. Their traditional dance, the Pangdure, is considered endangered.
