Now the tourist season in McLeod Ganj is here, there are cultural events taking place in the village every week. Traditional Tibetan music and dancing are performed twice weekly at the Yongling school hall, down the stairs from Jogiwara Road. The performances feature songs, music and occasional stomp dancing from East, West and Central Tibet and lasts about an hour.
In the above photo you can see the energetic and dynamic Dorje Tsering performing on a tungna, a traditional Tibetan string instrument which is plucked with a plectrum.
Live shows can be seen at 6pm on Thursdays and Sundays. Admission is free, but donations are requested. CDs are often available for purchase.
