Keeping things light

Atchars, the traditional jesters who form an integral part of religious dances at monasteries, liven up the somber motions of the Gutor Chaam at Sang Monastery in East Sikkim on Saturday. The pranks remain slapstick pantomime, but the costumes have modernized, like the slick masks the duo are wearing here. There were many laughs and giggles in the crowd on Saturday.
