One of many Dancers enacting a specific and historical ritualized story at local festivals that occur througout Bhutan several times a year. Schools are out, everyone dresses up, brings a picnic, and spends the entire day watching dancers, clowns and singers. All festivals have the same basic theme with very elaborate costumes and masks.
