The Mani Rimdu or ritual of consecrating pills with the mani mantra Om mani padme hum was introduced in Khumbu in the nineteen twenties. Because of the elaborate dances performed at the conclusion of the ritual as a thanksgiving party and a gift to the local population, the Mani Rimdu has become an important feature of Sherpa religion and culture. This book contains accurate information about the history, organization, and rituals of the Mani Rimdu, Dumche and Kyarog Tsogchen festivals.
