It is one of the traditional festivals of Bon, falling on August 10 th in every Year of the Horse in the Tibetan calendar. This custom has a history of over 600 years, and relates to a special gem that had been enshrined in the Kongpo area and acquired through trickery by neighboring tribes. Following the loss of the precious gem, the Kongpo people suffered from years of famines and plagues. The Kongpos later turned to a Bonpo, who told them that a ritual of prayers on the day on which the gem was taken would bring it back. The sacred gem was finally returned and the festival commemorates the event.  
 
The festival includes rituals, dances and horse racing contests, all of which are to prevent evils and to ensure good harvests. As one of the most influential festivals among the Bonpos, it is not only for the Bon followers of the Kongpo areas but attracts the attendance of many people from other parts of Tibet.
