After the elaborate dressing up and putting on the fierce looking masks, the artistes step out
from the crowded changing room into the monastery ground for a spectacular dance
performance to the cheer of waiting crowds which has people from near and far. This ritual will
be a colourful extravaganza with a slow beat typical of monastery dances. The young lad on the
left announces the arrival of the troupe by beating the metal disc in his hand. (Bhutan, 2015)
