This mesmerizing image captures the soul of Ladakh's spiritual heritage — the Cham Dance, a sacred ritual performed by monks during annual festivals at monasteries like Hemis, Thiksey, or Lamayuru. Wearing elaborate masks and colorful robes, the dancers personify deities and demons in a symbolic battle between good and evil. Accompanied by chants and the deep echo of horns and drums, this sacred performance is not just a visual spectacle, but a profound expression of Tibetan Buddhist tradition that aims to purify negativity and bless the land and its people.
