The third and concluding day of the festival promises a grand culmination. Once again, you will witness a Fire Puja within the Tengboche Monastery. In the monastery yard, a pit of fire burns, accompanied by the resonant hymns and chants of the monks. Butter and specific spices are kindled in flames, a ritual believed to appease the fire god, Agni, and the god of the mandala, fostering harmony and dispelling harm. In the final act, the sand mandala created on the initial day is carefully dismantled, and the sand is reverently offered to the Snake God, Naga. With this gesture, the festival concludes. Blessings are sought from the Lamas, and the locals return to their homes with a joyful and spiritually enriched state of mind. Enjoy an overnight stay in Tengboche.
