At the end of october every year the monks celebrate the victory of the buddhism about the Bon Religion by dance - the Mani Rimdu festival. Already some weekes ago the monks rehearse the traditional dance and if the Head Lama blows the beginning of festival, the dancing mask are taken out of locked chests. They personify the avenger Kala Bhairava.
