Based on Tibetan and Buddhist Legends,
Hemis Festival is said to have its origins
back in 8thCentury.

Lord Padmasambhava also known as Guru
Rimpoche is believed to be the local savior
who banished demons and evil spirits. The
spiritual leader is said to have introduced
of Tantric Buddhism in the Himalayan
Kingdom.

Dance, music, prayers, masked performances
and a medley of colors will be seen
everywhere you see.

Let’s enjoy it.

The festival highlight is the Dance
performances and plays by masked Lamas.

The masked dance represent the good
prevailing over evil. The participants of
the spellbinding performance are dressed in
vibrant costumes and bright masks.

Every mask has its own place in Tibetan and
Buddhist legends. Signifying aspects of
good and evil, they are designed as humble,
divine faces, animals, skeletons and
numerous frightful figurines.

Dancers can be seen with slow dance
movements and fanciful expressions.

on music medley of
sounds of drums,
trumpets and cymbals.

A slow and simple music
