Description:

by Dawa Tshering

This resemblace the beings in the intermediate state. In Buddhist context there is a state of imtermediate where the animals lived after they die. Wheather we drag down to hell or the up to the heaven depends on positive deeds we accumulated in the past. This is the drama conveying to the people that we should not do negative deeds when we are in the upper three realms.
