"Ngonpa--Rigna"
This ritual dance is performed before the start of Tibetan Opera and is meant to purify the stage on which the opera will be performed. The masked characters are called Ngonpas (blue-masks) or hunters and they represent the deity Vajrapani. The girls, wearing five panelled crowns with large rosettes represent Dakinis or celestial beings. At the end of the dance, everyone tosses tsampa, roasted barley flower in the air to appease the Boddhisatva and deities and pray for peace and prosperity for all sentient beings. (TIPA)
