Performance of Tshong Tshongma appeasement rituals

Group performance of Bon rituals to appease Tshong Tshongma, the most sacred mountain in Eastern Bhutan, which is accessible only for four months per year due to local customs and myths. At over 4000m, Tshong Tshongma is a very important deity, especially to the people in its vicinity. In this recording, a group of around 30 visitors, including children, performs rituals to appease Tshong Tshongma including serving meals, offering locally-fermented wine, bowing, and praying for the well-being of all sentient beings.
