Masked dancers at Ura village festival near Bumthang, Bhutan

Mask dance was one of the most eagerly awaited dances at the Ura village festival near Bumthang in Bhutan. Colourful attires, fearful masks and music which was certainly not soft was an experience we were happy not to have missed. All these costumes and the masks are manifestations of deep rooted beliefs on which this society lives. The power of faith and tradition is amazing.
