Cham dance, Khomic village
The dance continues out in a field. The Spiti Valley is a desert area in the Himalayas, high altitude and quite cold. I was out of breath just walking to this spot from the temple. Even though the dance was very slow and deliberate, the dancers & musicians looked exhausted.

A traditional dance in Tibetan Buddhism featuring brightly-colored costumes and masks, performed by monks to bring blessings onto the community. I feel very lucky to have been nearby in Kaza on the day of this event, which also meant that there was a specially-scheduled bus to the village.
