Local ladies engrossed in proceedings
When the last of the local people have received the thongdrel's blessing, it is slowly lowered & rolled up
When fully rolled, the thongdrel is carried away to be stored in the temple until next year
After a lunch break, the dances start again
Inside a canopy, the seated image of Guru Rinpoche has appeared to watch the final dances
The Guru prepares to process through the courtyard after the performance by dancers adorned with carved bone aprons
