The Ging Cham dance

1 Jan 1970

The Ging cham (the dance of the sacred war between the Gods and the Demons) dancers in Changlimithang Stadium. Religious dances or mask dances are called Cham. The other mask dancers are resting near the small wall in the stadium. In the background we can see thousand of people crowding the stadium and behind them is the beautiful Sangaygang hill.[Dawa Dem 8/9/2009]
