Thirteen monks appear wearing a complete tantric dress with great symbolic meaning. With their spiritual power, and through the ritual gestures and dancing that evoke divine wrath, they cut off evil spirits and negative influences, dispelling them far away. In the process, they set a physical boundary so that no entity may enter the sacred space or bring obstacles in the holy program.
