The mask dance in a ヘミス festival

The India ラダック district is the area where the influence of the Tibet Buddhism is strong. Many Tibet Buddhism cloisters are here and the festival on the theme of the instruction of the Tibet Buddhism is performed in many cloisters. It is the ヘミス festival which I performed. In a ラダック district, it is the most famous festival. The main is a "mask dance" like a photograph. It seems that the purpose teaches the instruction of the Tibet Buddhism to the general public who cannot read the Buddhist scripture. However, a tourist will occupy the stands and local residents will be driven away to the corner now. since I myself am a tourist -- the は through which it does not pass -- it was a complicated mental state It was very interesting, and the festival itself carried out various dances, if the priest covered with various masks came out one after another, and it was interesting also as a tale.
