Hello, we visited temple today and saw at 14:30 a ceremony on the red carpet with dancing and masks and we had no idea what it was. Can you help us please? :)

I read from the official website that the dance you have watched is part of the Buddhist praying ceremony in the year of 2015. The dance is called Buddha’s Warrior Attendant Exorcism Dance.
