Chote Tshering and Lama Tshering, two respected lay monks, discuss the ritual cake for the annual ritual of Mrs. Humchung. This ritual cake symbolizes the Lama (teacher), Yidam (tutelary deity), Chösung (religious protector), family deities, and the wrathful form of peaceful Buddha. They are also talking about the origin and meaning of these ritual cakes.

Chote Tshering and Lama Tshering, two respected lay monks, recite a prayer for Tshok (feast offering). Tshok offering is part of annual rituals in Thragom village. These offerings are made to Buddha, Bodhisattvas, tutelary deities, dharma protectors, the god of wealth, and deities to bring fortune, success, and a healthier life to the family. This recording was done in the evening after rainfall for half of the day.

Mr. Lama Tshering is an annual ritual performer of Hunchung and other households in Thragom, Rinzentangpang, Bamchang, and Ranjung. He has been performing the ritual for past several years. The religious text that they are reciting is the appeasement of the main deities of the Gelugpa sects of Buddhism. Some of the deities they appease are Damchen Dorji Legpa and his retinue.
