It is quite rare in other Tibetan areas. The festival
is a tradition for the Bon with a history of 600 years,
which is held on the 10th day of the 8th month of the
horse year by Tibetan calendar. It is said that the so-called
treasure is a kind of gem which is very important to the
products and fate of konpo. The people from Denchen bought
the gem. After that, starvation and pestilence are popular
in Konpo every year. Niangpu Lhasu is a festival for seeking
help from gods which is celebrated by the local people
in Konpo with the help of a practitioner. It is said that
on the 10th day of 8th month of a certain year by the
Tibetan calendar during the Spirit-Summoning Festival
(the day when the gem was sold out), the gem flied back
to Kongpo from Denchen. Since then people celebrate the
festival every year. The celebration activities are including
offering scarifices to gods, horse racing, yak fighting,
dancing and so on.
