Tiji Festival 2015

Tiji Festival will start from 06 may 2015 to 23 May 2015

Tiji is a celebration and reaffirmation of this myth. Throughout the festival the events and story of the myth are re-enacted. The festival is timed to coincide with the end of the dry season (late winter/spring) and ushers in the wetter monsoon season. Tiji comes from the words "ten che" meaning "the hope of Buddha Dharma prevailing in all worlds" and is a spring renewal festival that also celebrates the triumph of good over evil. In 1964 Michel Peissel was the first westerner to observe the Tiji festival. At this time, the Mustang region was still completely closed off to foreigners and he had to obtain special permission from the government of Nepal in order to enter the region. Despite his arrival on the last day of the celebration the experience left a lasting impression on him. "The scenes I witnessed were so extraordinary and so unexpected that I dared not believe my eyes and even today I have some trouble in believing in the reality of what I saw that day."

Tiji Festival is celebrating at Lo - Manthag Popular Tiji Festival Trek is celebrating year of 2015 month of May.  Lama dances of the grade practice of the Sabdun Phurba are performed. When the ministers of the king Uddayan try to burn Guru Rinpoche and his consort alive he transform the flames of the pyre in to a lake. The form he assumed when he emerged in the centre of a lotus with mandrava is known as Guru Pema Dorje Tsal-the Guru with lotus and Vajra. Thousands of men, women and children participate in this annual elaborate re-enactment of the Tiji myth. It will be our unique privilege to witness the same color, costume, dancing and ritual that were displayed by these people in this place more than six hundred years ago according to the religious mythology.

Most Monasteries in Upper Mustang belong to the Ngor Subsect of Sakya Buddhism. These living monasteries some of which are attached to caves, harbor great treasures of Religious art. Unfortunately occasional thefts have occurred in places, and there is a general lack of finance to undertake necessary renovations.  Traditionally, monasteries are maintained by the people of associated villages, whose unmarried sons and daughters are in return accepted into the religious community. But presently there is only one monastic School in Upper Mustang. The great Compassion Sakyapa Monastic School, Lo-Manthang , was newly founded in 1994. Here supported by the American Himalayan Foundation through Annapurna conservation Area Project about 64 youngs monkes study Buddhist teachings and rites, as well as nontraditional subjects like Science and English.
