Annually the festival is performed by the Pemayangtse monks at the shrine hall of Tsuklakhang Palace six days before Sikkimese new year, Loosong.[1] The festival is associated with the Pang Lhabsol, practiced not only at Tsuklakhang Palace but at most of the monasteries in Sikkim where earlier celebrations are held in mid-September in honor of Mount Khangchendzonga, and then finalized by the Kagyed in early December.
