About the festival

The annual Enchey cham — a ritual dance of the Lamas of Enchey monastery, is performed every year on the 18th and 19th days of the 11th month of the Tibetan calendar (corresponding to the month of December). Like the Chaams in other monasteries, here too, the gathering watch the Lamas in their splendid costumes and masks perform mystic dances. In Enchey the Drag-dMar Chaam of Padmasambhava in his wrathful form is the main ritual dance.
