Tiji Festival, also known as Tenchi, is a sacred Buddhist ritual celebrated annually in Lo Manthang, Upper Mustang. Scheduled to take place from May 14 to May 16, 2026 (Baishakh 31 to Jestha 2, 2083 B.S.), the name comes from Tenpa Chirim, meaning “benefit of Buddha’s teachings and all sentient beings.”
The festival is based on the meditation practice of Vajrakila (also called Dorje Phurba or Vajrakumar), a powerful deity in Vajrayana Buddhism known for removing negative forces.
