The Dramyin Cham dance is participated by males wearing heavy, woolen clothes to celebrate an incident in Tibetan Buddhist mythology - the victory of the saint Tsangpa Gyare who subjugated a demon by performing a dramyin cham.
The basic costume consists of elaborate, heavy, woolen clothes, a long, black Tibetan robe (chuba) lined with red, and long, colorful felt boots. All participants in the Dramyin Cham are male, similar to the conventions pertaining to other Cham dances. Specifically, the dance celebrates an incident in Tibetan Buddhist mythology - the victory of the saint Tsangpa Gyare (1161-1211) over a demon which was obstructing a pilgrimage path to Tsari, Tibet at the mouth of a valley.
