Brief Background info about Devil Dance:
The devil dance is a combination of traditional dances performed by 3 minks in scary looking costumes. Originally, it is called “Cham” and it is performed to purge, cleanse, combat evil, and bring good fortune, as well as to serve as a means of meditation for the participants. It is a Tibetan Buddhist ritual that celebrates the victory of good over evil and holds a lot of meaning to the communities that follow the Buddhist religion.
It is quite a social gathering for the people who attend. The costumes are made up of masks, brightly colored robes and sometimes aprons and other ornamentation traditionally made of bones.
