Karsha Gustor Festival

The Karsha Gustor Festival, held at the picturesque Karsha Monastery in Zanskar, is a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. This is the largest festival in Zanskar, home to around 100 lamas. The monastery is located on the slopes of the Zanskar mountains, high above the Padum plain, providing a stunning backdrop for the festivities. During the festival, a Black Hat Dance is performed. Then, a masked dance (performed by the monks) is also on the same line as Chaam. This well-known festival is celebrated in January. It is also known as the Spitok Gutor Zanskar Festival. This cultural celebration offers a unique insight into Ladakhi traditions and spiritual practices.
