Bhutanese dancers perform in the Jampey Lhakhang festival and later a fire is lit and villagers run underneath it as they believe it will wash away all their sins in Jakar, Bhumtang district October 18, 2005. The festival is a traditional Buddist ceremony performed every year and begins with a dance of the black hats. The Black hats perform a purification and blessing of the ground with alcohol and grains and then they dance to chase away evil influences. (Ami Vitale)
