Gangkharka Yum Tsechu Program.

Helllo everyone.
pov- TsechuThe Tshechu festival is known for its traditional mask dances. In the rhythm of the folklore and musical instruments, the Lamas chant mantras accompanied by traditional music during which the dancers wear elaborate costumes along with wooden masks. The dances are performed to symbolize the demons and deities. The rest of the community also joins in singing and dancing while forming a circle holding each other’s arms, a dance known as Syabru. The community rejoices with great enthusiasm and the festival continues from morning until late evening. During the festival, a special Tshechu puja is performed by reciting Hyum scriptures by Lamas, high Buddhist priests for five days. Then the Tsechu festival begins with large social gatherings of the people from the nearby villages. The locals witness the festival by organizing bonfires and feasts, a good excuse to socialize and enjoy the presence of each other. There is a unique tradition of the festival being organized by one or two households in rotation. While other households contribute food and other resources required during the festival. According to Buddhist scripture, it is customary to celebrate the victory over demons through tantric dances as performed by Guru Rimpoche and ancient Lama priests.
