Tibet-2 02 Laru Mountain God Festivals
Some of the festivals include dances or processions in which single women perform very precise movements wearing these very heavy coral headpieces. Hot sun and hot clothing make this even more demanding. The lead dancer is carrying a kata (khata,katha,katag) or scarf often used in welcoming.
Some brief background to the festivals can be found here. Please do not reblog without these links.

howling like a neon sign
