Description

The ritual begins with men circumambulating the courtyard. They walk in a synchronized gait to the beat of a drum. This constant beat provides the rhythm to keep their steps together while the Lha ba (medium) prepares to go into trance. The entire village attends this part of the ritual. Women with their children sit nearby and watch.
