Ladakh's Hemis Festival, which takes place every year, is approaching. Make a note of the dates because the two-day Hemis Festival takes place in Ladakh on July 8-9. Hemis Festival is held on the tenth day of the lunar month, also known as Tse-Chu, to commemorate Guru Padmasambhava's birth anniversary.
The majestic Hemis Monastery is located in Ladakh; during the festival, you will witness the monastery decked out and preparing for a big cultural extravaganza. The ideal time to learn about Ladakhi culture is now.
Locals dress up in traditional garb and congregate in the monastery courtyard for the major event. The event begins with cham, also known as the masked dance, performed by lamas dressed in traditional garb and wearing colourful masks. The magnificent masks and headgears are culturally significant and have several meanings.
The festival's major feature is the Cham Dance, also known as the God Dance. Due to its religious significance, it is exclusively performed by monks and lamas.
Visitors are always asked to respect the local culture and the festival environment in general since Hemis Celebration is a religious festival. It is recommended that you dress appropriately and bring sun protection because this is an outdoor event. Photography is absolutely prohibited within the monastery museum and prayer hall.
