This dance is performed to deliver sentient beings into Zangto Pelri. Here Guru Rinpoche takes the form of Dorji Dragpo or “the fierce thunderbolt”.
This dance has a deep significance. The main god performs a symbolic sacrifice of evil spirits with the phurbu (ritual dagger) after they are enclosed in a box. He thus saves the world and at the same time delivers the spirits into salvation.
