Through the prescribed participation in certain feasts the individual's social position and identity within his own group and in relation to other groups of a similar order are expressed. Simultaneously as certain persons are prescribed to attend, others are proscribed from participating. It is also established that certain foods in some contexts have clear-cut meanings: signifying, for example, contraction of marriage, the gender of a new-born child, or a wish for purity. Previously unpublished data from the Newar culture is presented, particularly with reference to the jyapu and Urya castes. This data has been collected during 14 months of field work among the Newars.
