The rather monotonous life of the Mongols is broken up once a year in the late summer when the monastery festivals are held. The celebrations proper last for four days, on the first of which the head Lama makes his call on the various monasteries in and around the city.
The second day is devoted to the "Devil Dances," and the third is taken up by wrestling matches. pictorial account of the Summer Festival is given on this page, while further details will be found in the news section of this issue.
