Held at the sprawling courtyard of Hemis monastery, the biggest Buddhist monastery in Ladakh, representing the richest display of Tibetan culture in India.
According to legends based on Tibetan and Buddhist culture, the Hemis Festival dates back to the eighth century. It is claimed that Lord Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rimpoche, is the local saviour who drove out demons and evil spirits.
According to legend, the spiritual guide brought Tantric Buddhism to the Himalayan Kingdom. Buddhism and Tibetan culture were combined to create a new way of life that was based on prayer, a strict lifestyle, and a greater purpose.
The inhabitants of Ladakh have since started to observe this festival, and they also think that doing so ardently will shield them from negative energy. The Hemis Monastery offers an instructive tour of India’s celebration art, values, and contributions to human progress, happiness, and harmony.
Visitors from all over the world, come to participate in this great celebration honouring Lord Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche. Hemis Festival, frequently referred to as Ladakhi Hemis Festival, is observed on the occasion of the local hero Lord Padmasambhava’s birthday.
A rainbow of colours will be seen everywhere during the celebration, which will be followed by dance, music, prayers, and masked performances. Ladakh’s charming and rough scenery is transformed into a lively and chaotic one by the Hemis Festival.
