Dressed in traditional Tibetan attire, they performed with sheer delight on the "stage"-a large tract of grassland. They change formations from time to time, sometimes gathering in the center, sometimes spreading out and sometimes holding hands in circles.

"In the Tibetan language, Markham refers to a place of goodness and kindness," says Tashi Wangdu, adding that, since childhood, he and his family would find an open space to light a campfire and dance when celebrating holidays.
