Kagyed dance, a customary dance festival which is celebrated annually in Sikkim falls in which month ?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - December
The Kagyed dance festival in Sikkim falls in December.
- The Kagyed dance is associated with the Pang Lhabsol, a festival practiced not only at Tsuklakhang Palace but at most monasteries in Sikkim.
- Earlier celebrations of Pang Lhabsol are held in mid-September.
- The Kagyed dance acts as a closing ceremony or culmination, occurring six days before the Sikkimese New Year, Loosong. Loosong typically falls in early January.
Therefore, considering the connection to Loosong and the six-day lead-in, December is the most likely month for the Kagyed dance festival.
