Gurung Arghum (अर्घुम) is a traditional death ceremony practiced by the Gurung community of Nepal, combining mourning, ancestral remembrance, prayers, rituals, music, and community gathering. During the ceremony, family members and relatives come together to honor the deceased, perform customary rites guided by traditional priests and elders, and offer food and other ritual items as part of the farewell and remembrance. Arghum reflects the Gurung community’s deep respect for ancestors, family bonds, cultural traditions, and the belief that the departed should be peacefully guided into the next stage of their spiritual journey.
