“Shana-Black Hat Dance”

Bhutan

9)Karchu Tenda Ceremony, Lhodrak Karchu, Bumthang Valley, Central Bhutan, 6/29/04 2:23pm
‘A Spectacular dance in which dancers representing Tantrists with supernatural powers take possession of the dancing area to drive out evil spirits and purify the ground with their footsteps. It also tells the story of the assassination of the anti-Buddhist Tibetan king, Langdarma, in the year AD 842 by a monk, Pelkyi Dorje, who had hidden his bow and arrows in the voluminous sleeves of this garment.’ – Francoise Pommaret.
