About this item
| Description: | A line dance and song performed at the archery target. Somehow the whole community becomes involved in the archery match played out during the Laya Bumkhosa. The score is close at the start of the second day and the songs, dances and good luck ceremonies are performed in earnest. If the correct rituals and offerings are made to the local deities then victory is assured. The first flower is offered up to the heavens for gods blessing and for the well-being of people on earth/ The second flower is offered to the earth for peace/ The third flower is offered to the hills to bring wealth. |
