This festival, which translates to "Festival of the Tenth Lunar Month" is celebrated to honor one's ancestors. The festival takes place on 14th - 15th day of the waning moon in the tenth lunar month, when it is believed that ancestor spirits are allowed to visit the earth. Families prepare elaborate offering baskets full of delicious offerings to their deceased relatives. The baskets are then taken to the monastery in colorful and joyous processions.
