GUESTBOOKNot as well known as the Hemis festival, a smaller monastery set high in the desert landscape 100km from Leh, the Lamaruyu festival was much more vibrant and pleasing then the overly commercial one of Hemis. The view had a feeling of much more energy and interest from the dancers and more involvement with the locals. It was a ceremony with a feeling of being much more real then the more touristy Hemis. Over two days from sunrise to sunset the dancers whirled around the courtyards of the monastery and enacted the drama of good and evil from a Buddhist point of view.
