Lopon Tshering is an eighty-two-year-old astrologer and local savant who settled in Soe Janguthang during the reign of the Second King (1926-52). In this video, he talks about cultural aspects of his village, and the difficulties experienced by his community in the past. In particular, he talks about the sacred site of Jomolhari and its associated deity, Aum Jomo Tshering. Soe and Lingzhi villages propitiate Aum Jomo Tshering as one of their main local guardian deities. The main ritual offering to this deity happens on the 22nd day of the ninth month of the Bhutanese calendar. Local people also perform this ritual at their home whenever someone falls sick.
