The Tiji festival is a three-day ritual known as "The chasing of the Demons" that centers on the Tiji myth. The myth tells of a deity named Dorje Jono who must battle against his demon father to save the Kingdom of Mustang from destruction. In the festival over a thousand men, women and children were taking part. The women looked superb in hand woven sleeveless Chubas (a bath-robe style dress made of thick wool) over bright, loose silk blouses. Around their waste bands were tucked two aprons, a short one that hung down in front, the other caught in the belt and hanging down behind to the ground. These were gaily striped in bright, narrow bands of blue, red, green and yellow. Many women were literally smothered with ornaments of silver and precious stones…necklaces of bright orange coralline stones alternating with turquoises…ivory-white bracelets made of truncated conch shell (and)...head-dresses…studded with turquoises along the central parting of their hair and fell down their backs. Tiji comes from the word "ten che" meaning ‘the hope of Buddha Dharma prevailing in all worlds’ and is effectively a spring renewal festival. This festival once in a year at the time of April / May according to the Tibetan calendar. The date of Tiji Festival will fixed by high Lama and the King of Upper Mustang during November. The trip schedule will also fixed at that time.
