Palden Namgyal, Tenzin Choekyi, and Dawa Tsering presented a musical concert using traditional Tibetan instruments like the Yangchen and Dram-ngyen (string instruments). The trio played "The Enthronement of His Holiness" and "Grateful Parent."
The three-day cultural presentation of Tibet came to a close in a traditional manner with the dismantling of the mandala. The program was a way to silently protest the Red Army and present the peace-loving culture of Tibet to Bangaloreans [Bangalore, India].
Earlier in the day, the monk Namdak spoke on the Buddha and the Dalai Lama. Organizers of the event said there was an overwhelming response from Bangaloreans. “Everyday during the [event], there were more than hundreds of people who visited us during the program,” said Suresh Jayram, Curator of Rewa (50 years of hope). The program was supported by Asia Arts Network, an international granting body that supports art and culture. Source
