Holidays
Mani Rimdu , the full moon of the 9th Tibetan month , is the most important event of the year for the Khumbu region. At this time, the monastery held three-day celebrations, which were preceded by ten days of continuous prayer to the patron deity, from whom blessings are asked for all mankind. The ceremony begins in the afternoon with the sound of the horns, after which the abbot of the monastery, accompanied by the rest of the monks, sings prayers. An orchestra consisting of cymbals, horns, and flutes heralds the beginning of the festivities of the second day. Monks in colorful robes and huge masks perform dances symbolizing the destruction of evil. On the last day of the holiday, figures made of dough are thrown into the sacred fire. It symbolizes the death of evil forces and the beginning of a happy new year [2]
