Fishing is a performance in which the two dancers chase children as well as young men and if they catch them pretend to sacrifice them unless they pay a "toll," which goes to pay for ceremony supplies for later in the day. Sima and Duma are part of the Nine Durga dancers whose performances are one of the chief ways in which ritual space is generated in Bhaktapur (Levy 1990, 501­620). The Nine Durgas consist of the goddesses, Mahakali, Kumari, Varahi, Brahmai, Vairavi, and Indrani, as well as the male deities Ganesha, Bhairava, White Bhairava, and finally Sima and Duma.
