pThe main attraction of the Torgya festival is the three-day performance of monastic dances by monks in the courtyard of the main temple. Monastic dances portray both historical and imaginary events. Various types of monastery dance, including Phagcham, Durdag, Lhamcham, Chamchin, and Jhacham, among others, are typically performed while wearing wooden masks and ornamental clothing to the beat of drum and cymbal beats. The dances of the monasteries are carefully planned and arranged./p
