This festival is celebrated at the monasteries of Tengpoche Thami and Chiwang right after the full moon of autumn. The monks, with elaborate masks and costumes on perform a series of ritualistic dances of the triumph of Buddhism over Bon, the ancient animistic religion of Tibet.

On the first day of the festival, Lamas of the monastery pray in the courtyard. The second day, you can see the Lamsa dancing with brocade gowns and wonderfiully painted paper-mouth masks. Hundreds of Sherpas from all over Khumbu attend the performance, as it is an important social occasion as well as an entertaining spectacle. Along with the serious and intricate dances the Lamas also dramatize two absurd comic sequences that make the entire performance a grand and amusing event.

On the final evening of Mani Rimdu the villagers join in an all-night Sherpa dance.
