Rigma Chudruk Cham is a pacifying dance, performed solely by monks wearing exquisite costumes to represent the sixteen goddesses that make various offerings to enlightened beings. The sixteen goddesses not only bestow wisdom but also entertain and bring enjoyable offerings to the enlightened spiritual beings. Generally, the dance takes two forms: Rigma Chudruk Cham, which is performed with a drilbu bell and daru/damaru drum in hand; or Rigma Chudruk Nga Cham in which dancers play Nga drums with Ne-tok, drumsticks. Though the costumes are identical, these dances can be easily differentiated by the instruments dancers use. The dance is known by various names across different Buddhist traditions: Rigma Chudruk Cham; Khandro-mai Cham, Dance of Dakinis; Zhe-wai Cham pacifying dance; Dorji Lhamo Chudruk, sixteen Vajra Dakinis; Choe-pai Lhamo Chudruk Sixteen Offering Goddesses; and Dodyon-gi Lhamo Chudruk Sixteen Pleasurable Goddesses.
