Editor’s Notes:

   This Poem has some importance to the Gubili Ditharkho ( Panimur Waterfall) and it is used to sing in every Holy Bath at Dikhoro Digalai.( Panimur). Let me give a brid’s view of Dimasa Holy Bath at Dikhoro Digalai( Panimur) which is celebrated on the day of maghi purnima of Fagun Badain ( Dimasa New Year Month) in every year.

         To revive the Grand Holy Bath of Dimasa at Dikhro Dighai  K C Bodo took pioneering initiatives and  also constituted an organization “Kapili Tirtha Samsaj’ in 1984.    It came to his notice that Grand holy bath at Dikhoro Dihalai was circumscribed only among the single Julu Marongma Daogua and a single Sengphong Senkring Rajiyung.  He set the rolling ball to collect various historical accounts and material evidences from various sources. Consequently he also compiled a book  “Kapili Thirtha” by name. The book endowed profusely with many facts and his findings about Kapili Thirtha is very helpful to understand the rich heritage of Dimasa’s faith and beliefs.  According to K C Bodo , Dimasa King, Damrodos of Maibang was the last king who  visited this holy shrine  with their large peoppe gathering here. There was a very elaborate history about the Grand Holy bath of Dimasa King Danrodos.  But after his demise, no such grand holy bath was recorded.  It may be due  to various turmoil appeared in Dimasa Kingdom in later period and with advent of British finally the sunset of Dimajaji took place.

      With profound realization of the importance of this Grand Holy Bath , he approached many Dimasa Intelligentsia and social workers  to revive and to make it as grand holy bath of Dimasa.

In 987 P K Kemprai (CEM) , KK Hojai, Hambang Bathari and many others people  assembled at Panimur to view the holy Bath taken by Marongma daogua  and they also took bath . In the  open meeting all assembled people resolved to make it as  Grand Holy Bath of Dimasa People so that irrespective of all sephong , Julu will take bath together in the same wari.(waterfall).  Every Dimasa feel the need of common platform to stand united spiritually, religiously and culturally  on the pedestal of true fraternity  and amity to revive the Dimasa Nationalition.  Our people have been shattered into pieces geopraphically, economically and even religiously with blind acceptance of other cultures and tratiotions. There was saying “ It was the crucial time for us to take the  esteem responsibilities of our nation building”.     So the  great sons of Dimasa such as Panidra Gorlosa, Hambang Bathari , K K Hojai  , Kumbo Hojai , Naren Daolaguphu  Nirupoma Hagjer , Ramendra Lanthasa , and many other come forward to organize  this grand holy Bath.Finaly, Dimasa Dara Disani Dol along with Kapili Tirtha Samaj  organized   the  the first  Grand Holy Bath on 9^th Frebruary,1990   which come out with splendid people gatherings.

[Many of the persons who did a lot for the holy bath are not mentioned in it pertaining to its abridged  form]
