During the Shaman festival, the women performed first, carrying long khata scarves in their hands. Afterwards, the men came forward, dancing while beating drums. A few men climbed on to the roof of the entrance of the temple grounds and lit sang, or juniper branches, as an offering. Next, one man with a long braid emerged from the temple, shaking and spitting. As the oracle, he served as a medium for the mountain god. He emptied bottles of alcohol on the ground as an offering and other men stood around him, clearing his way. Then, two boys on stilts came out and danced while beating drums.
