🌄 What is the Tiji Festival?

The Tiji Festival (short for “Tenchi,” meaning prayer for world peace) is a traditional Tibetan Buddhist festival celebrated by the local Loba community of Upper Mustang.

It is based on the legend of Dorje Jono, a deity who defeated a demon that caused drought and destruction in the region.

🎭 Three Days of Celebration:

  • Day 1 (Tsa Chham): Beginning of rituals and symbolic struggle against evil
  • Day 2 (Nga Chham): Dramatic masked dances showing the battle
  • Day 3 (Rha Chham): Victory of good, peace, and blessings for the land

During these days, monks from local monasteries perform powerful Cham dances in the courtyard of Lo Manthang’s royal palace, creating a truly spiritual and unforgettable atmosphere.
