Feast Dance

The tshog cham dance is performed in the middle of the ritual of tshog tantric feast. The dancers with the mask of wrathful Buddhas appear to perform a menacing and lively dance. They symbolically slay the ego or the evil force by chopping a dough figure. After slaying the ego, the corpse of the ego is then fed to the enlightened deities as part of the tshog feast.
