The twenty-fourth day of the sixth lunar month is the last day of the festival and there are many plays to perform. The first play depicts someone disguised as a rooster and crows, then the Father comes along with his big ox who will start to plow the field and plant seeds. After these, another play of an elderly man and woman is performed. They sing Tibetan love songs and perform a dance following the play of Loknön. Then, the elderly man gives gifts to the newly arrived brides, a gesture which symbolizes the well wishes for a new birth. After that, all the boys and girls perform “Gyellen.” The lay practitioners perform a ritual to stop rain, and finally, with the shout of goodness and prosperity, the festivities conclude.
