Tiji Festival
|
|
 |
|
The Tiji festival is held in Mustang for three days every year.
It is the greatest festival cerebrated by local people at the
end of the dry winter season. The word Tiji comes from "Tenche"
meaning 'the hope of Buddha Dharma prevailing in all worlds' and
is effectively a spring renewal festival. This 'demon's chasing
ritual centers on the Tiji myth. The myth tells of a deity named
Dorje Jono who must battle against his demon father to save the
Kingdom of Mustang from destruction. The demon father wreaked
havoc on Mustang by bringing a shortage of water (a highly
precious resource in this very dry land) and causing many
resulting disasters from famine to animal loss. Dorje Jono
eventually beats the demon and banishes him from the land. Tiji
is a celebration and reaffirmation of this myth and throughout
the festival the various scenes of the myth will be enacted. |
