Tiji is one of the most well known and revered festival in Lo. It is a time of celebration and religious pilgrimage for the people of Lo. The festival initially began as a religious ceremony, to ward off obstacles and suffering that might befall the country. Later it also came to symbolize the hope and strength of the people of Lo. A remote place lying in the rain shadows of the Himalayas, Lo was beset by environmental difficulties, yet its situation along the main salt trade route made it a highly prized location regularly invaded by neighbouring states. In effect, the festival is a fervent prayer by the King and Queen of Mustang and the people of Lo for peace and stability, not only in Lo, but all over the world.
