The festival is held at the Jambay Lhakhang in Bumthang, which was built in the 7th century and is one of the oldest temples in the country. Masked dances and bonfires commemorate the establishment of this 7th century Lhakhang. The highlight of the festival is the fire ritual that is held by midnight where crowds gather to witness the ritual. A naked dance is also performed where the dancers only have their masks on.
The festival is held at Jambay Lhakhang (monastery) in Bumthang, central Bhutan. The hilly town of Bumthang is one of the most scenic places in Bhutan. A distinct feature of this festival is a naked dance performed during the night. It is believed to ward off evil.
The Jambay monastery has mystical roots. It is believed to be one of the 108 monasteries constructed in a single day by a Tibetan King to subdue a demon. Of the two temples built in Bhutan, the other one stands in Paro, called the Kichu temple. The rest of the 106 sister temples are spread all over Tibet.
