Ladakh – Korzok Gustor Festival – Busy Monks
It was time of the annual Korzok Gustor Festival when I visited Korzok Village on the bank of Tso Moriri Lake. Whole village and nomadic people from surrounding areas were gathered at the monastery to see the masked dance of the lamas (monks). The lamas themselves were busy getting ready, preparing materials needed for the rituals and slipping into costumes. A few of them were in the prayer hall helping each other with the masks, while others would come and go or sometimes stand at the door asking others for help. I used this opportunity to wait at the prayer hall door and click the faces peering out from the curtains.
