The three day festivals bring Thimphu to a virtual standstill. The “Dance of the Lords of the Cremation Grounds” and the “Dance of the Terrifying Deities,” in just two of the most revered traditional performances, the embodiment of all Buddhas, Guru Rinpoche, assumes the form of “Fierce Thunderbolt” (Dorje Dragpo) to free evil spirits into the greater field of happiness by destroying demons. Numerous Bhutanese from rural villages and also other parts of the country journey to Thimphu to attend. In addition to the festival’s theatrical performances, Atsaras, who dance and playfully tease people are another big draw for attendees. To promote community health and safety activities, humorous performances are also usually shown.
