At that time, performers wear various masks, wide-sleeved robes, and perform religious dances. The difference between this temple and other temples in Tibetan areas is that the temple was built during the busy farming season in midsummer, so it is not allowed to gather people. Therefore, the temple construction celebration was changed to the winter farming off-season. At this time every year, farmers and herdsmen from various towns and villages in Purang wear new clothes and come to watch the sacred dance and Tibetan opera, which is very lively.
