The twenty-first day of the sixth lunar month is the "deity inviting" day. All men over fifteen years and under sixty from both upper and lower villages must be present at the Makpöntönpo mound for this ceremony. Everyone gathers here to invite the deity; villagers shout, "Kikisoso!" and sprinkle wine in the air as the local guardian deity descends and offers annual greetings. Then, wine is sprinkled all around to invite thousands of other deities. Lhaba, the chief, and the villagers all perform Lhatsé briefly. People line up on the Luru performance ground for the departure of the deity with thangka-holders first, then the warriors with spears, scholars, and the others lined up by age.
