Video Overview
This is the beginning of a series of songs sung at weddings. Traditionally, one of the wedding parties goes to the other wedding party's home for the wedding ceremonies. When the traveling party is nearing the home of the other party, members of the latter go out to greet the guests before they reach their home. These songs are sung by the two parties, and form merely the beginning of many other songs that follow.

Traditionally, one of the wedding parties goes to the other wedding party's home for the wedding ceremonies. When the traveling party is nearing the home of the other party, members of the latter go out to greet the guests before they reach their home. These songs are sung by the two parties, and form merely the beginning of many other songs that follow. dro btab has been glossed as 'to picnic'. Tsering Gyalpo explained that it did not mean 'to lunch', but rather to stop to rest and eat while traveling. 'Meeting place' translates rdog du. Tsering Gyalpo explained that rdog indicates an important place where difficult things happen.

We stopped to picnic in the forest. Tonight we shall sleep in the sky. Our final destination is the meeting place.
