Mani Rimdu is a 19-day festival celebrated by Buddhists in the Everest region of Nepal to mark the founding of Buddhism by Guru Rinpoche Padmasambhava. The Mani-rimdu festival consists of a series of thirteen acts involving various elements of religious ceremonialism, dance and drama. A huge crowd of Lamas and Sherpa meet at the monastery. They enjoy the festival with masked/without mask dances, prayers and feasts. This video was captured at Tengboche Monastery, Everest region, Nepal.
