Mankhim or Mangkhim is the temple of the Kirat ( Rai), one of Nepal's most ancient ethnolinguistic groups. This Mankhim is located at Aritar, Sikkim. Here the (Rai) community assembles twice every year for the celebration of Sakewa, a day fixed for worship (usually falling in the months of April or May). In the Rai language "Mang" means Deity and "Khim" meaning House .
