Punakha Festival: Masked Dances

Punakha Bhutan

8-15 Feb 2011

Demoche is the annual festival held at the Dzong, the administrative centre of Punakha dzongkhag, which is largely attended by people from all villages and far places of the district. The Ranghung (self created) image of Chenresig enshrined in the utse of the dzong (brought by Zhadrung from Tibet) is displayed during the festival. During this five day festival, also known as Punakha festival, held in February/March, there are some very impressive displays. The important display is a re-enactment of the Tibetan invasion of Bhutan in 1639 where the Tibetans were defeated. In this theatrical display, which was conceived by the Zhamdrung, a mock throwing of a relic to the Mo chu river is dramatized. The final day of the festival marks the display of an image of Zhamdrup followed by a group dance performance by 136 people, dressed as warriors, in the main courtyard. At the end of the performance, the dancers descend down the front entrance of the dzong in revelry â?? whistling and shouting. The Monks led by the Je Khenpo of the Dzong then parade to the Mo chu river bank with lot of fan fare. Je Khenpo then flings oranges into the river marking the Rangjung Kharsapani, which is considered an offering to the naga spirits residing below the river bed. After this act, the traditional mask dances commemorating the construction of the Dzong are performed in the Dzong premises.
