The legends connected the source of that ancient knowledge with Kanchenjunga – the “Mountain of Five Treasures”. Once a year, the powerful god of Kanchenjunga comes down from the snowy peaks, on the day when they organize dances in his honor in Sikkim. A formidable dark-red mask covers his face. Together with frightful Mahakala, Sikkim’s protector, they perform the circles of a magic dance. The god of Kanchenjunga keeps an eye on the Treasures of the sacred Mountain and the Secret Valley.
