For five spring days the courtyard of Rinpung Dzong fills with families in their best kira and gho to watch monks and laymen perform masked cham dances that tell Buddhist teachings. Clowns called atsaras work the crowd between dances. Before dawn on the final day a giant embroidered thangka of Guru Rinpoche is unrolled down the dzong wall, and thousands file past to receive its blessing before sunrise.
