My destination
Bike trip of ladakh (The Thiksay Gustor is a two day festival that takes place in
Ladakh.
The first day started with prayers followed by Chams (mask
dance) performed by the monks of the same monastery. Some of
the main features of the two day ritual performance, besides
Chams, include the oracle, and the dismembered and dispersal
of the Storma (Sacrificial Cake) by the leader of the Black
hat dancers during the ceremony called “Argham” or
“killing”. This marks the end of the ceremony and
symbolises the destruction of all form of evil. On the
occasion the assassination of the Tibetan apostate King
Lang-Darma, by a Buddhist monk in the mid 9th century is
also enacted.)
