Mani Rimdu Festival is one of the biggest cultural jewels of the Sherpa around the Khumbu region. The 3-day-long open festival “Mani Rimdu Festival” is celebrated at the famed Tengboche monastery on 9th Tibetan month usually falling in the month of October to November full moon. Before the performance of the Mask dance, the local Sherpa people of this region go through the preparation of Sand Mandala (Wong), The Empowerment (Jinsak), The Fire Puja, Chhingpa, Chham (The Dances), and Ser-Kyem.
The Mask dance represents monks performing dances, namely Ser-Kyem, Ghing-Pa, Guru Rinpoche, Nga-Chhyama, Mi-Tsering, Rol-Cham, Thur-Dhag, Kang-Wa, Mi-Nak, and Khandro, as the victory of Guru Rinpoche, the incarnation of Buddha, over the Bon region. Monks work with the reference of the Tibetan Lunar calendar, and the date for the festival is decided by the head Lama at Tengboche Monastery. It is celebrated in the 9th Tibetan month, usually falling in the month of October or November’s full moon.
