Marked with an exuberant spirit annually, the festivals of Ladakh are traditionally conducted within the serene confines of Buddhist monasteries. Adorned in vibrant robes and adorned with awe-inspiring masks, monks engage in the sacred cham, a ritualistic dance featuring sacred mask performances. These cham symbolize the purification of the mind and the prevailing triumph of virtue over malevolence. Integral to the cultural tapestry of Ladakh, these festivals draw individuals of all ages from every corner of the region to partake in the rich cultural experiences presented by the monastic celebrations.
