| ladakh Festival Dates 2010 :- Most of the festival events in Ladakh
are the annual monastic festivals. Among non-monastic events count the
Losar or New Year celebrations and the notable Ladakh Festival
organized by the Kashmir and Jammu government. The monastic festivals
are dance-dramas in the gompa courtyards. The performers are the lamas,
the monks themselves.
Wearing colorful garments and
often frightful, at times comic masks, the monks perform mimes
representing various aspects of the religion, be it the progress of the
individual soul and its purification or the triumph of good over evil.
The events draw spectators from among the local populace, from near and
far, in great numbers for attending these auspicious events promises
spiritual benefits aside the enjoyment of the party atmosphere.
Huge
crowds that gather heighten the sense of the occasion. Most monastic
festivals are two-day events. Losar celebrations take close to one
month and the Ladakh Festival is a two-week event. Our tours are
designed around the dates of these unique events, bringing you the
first hand experience of their festive atmosphere and thus broadening
your insight into the cultural heritage of Ladakh. | |
