EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases an intriguing moment from the Tsam ceremony amongst the Buryat People in Transbaikalia, Eastern Russia. The Buryats are a Mongolic ethnic group residing primarily in the Siberian region surrounding Lake Baikal. This Buddhist ritual, derived from Tibetan Cham dance traditions, was performed to exorcise evil and ward off malevolent spirits. The elaborate and often horrific masks worn by the dancers in this ceremony were designed to represent various demons and devils. The dancers, dressed in colorful costumes, move in a synchronized and rhythmic manner, creating a mesmerizing performance. The narrative content of the dance varied, but its primary purpose was to prevent and protect against the influence of evil spirits. The Tsam ceremony holds deep historical significance for the Buryat People, reflecting their rich cultural heritage and religious beliefs. Monks, who played a crucial role in the ceremony, presided over the event and guided the performers through the intricate dance movements. The image captures the intensity and focus of the performers as they bring the masks to life, creating a powerful and otherworldly atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the superstitions and traditions of the Buryat People. The Tsam ceremony remains an essential aspect of their identity and continues to be celebrated in various parts of Transbaikalia today.
