Exorcism

This is a ritual of exorcism which is based on a tantric practice of a wrathful deity. The priests undertake the meditation on the deity and chanting of mantras and then use a large torma piece with the face of a wrathful deity to exorcise and destroy misfortunes and obstacles. The torma is cast in the bonfire in the direction which is appropriate. The ritual is often performed at the end of the old year and just before the new year starts.
