Tiji Festival is celebrating at Lo - Manthag Popular Tiji Festival is celebrating year of 2013 month of May. Lama dances of the grade practice of the Sabdun Phurba are performed. When the ministers of the king Uddayan try to burn Guru Rinpoche and his consort alive he transform the flames of the pyre in to a lake. The form he assumed when he emerged in the centre of a lotus with mandrava is known as Guru Pema Dorje Tsal-the Guru with lotus and Vajra. Thousands of men, women and children participate in this annual elaborate re-enactment of the Tiji myth. It will be our unique privilege to witness the same color, costume, dancing and ritual that were displayed by these people in this place more than six hundred years ago according to the religious mythology.
Most Monasteries in Upper Mustang belong to the Ngor Subsect of Sakya Buddhism. These living monasteries some of which are attached to caves, harbor great treasures of Religious art. Unfortunately occasional thefts have occurred in places, and there is a general lack of finance to undertake necessary renovations.
Traditionally, monasteries are maintained by the people of associated villages, whose unmarried sons and daughters are in return accepted into the religious community. But presently there is only one monastic School in Upper Mustang. The great Compassion Sakyapa Monastic School, Lo-Manthang , was newly founded in 1994. Here supported by the American Himalayan Foundation through Annapurna conservation Area Project about 64 youngs monkes study Buddhist teachings and rites, as well as nontraditional subjects like Science and English.
