Summary
A healing dance performed on the last day of the "changing woman" (puberty) ceremony. The mountain spirit drives the evil spirit away from the young woman, purifying her. The dance is performed by five masked men to an accompaniment of singing with drum; they are joined by two young women, while two older women tread the rhythm of the dance at the side.
