Men’s day is an enjoyable festival in Kejia, Purang County. From 11th to 15th every February in Tibet year, all the men who are above 18 years old will be treated as God. They gather on the square in front of the Kejia Monastery, just sitting on the mat drinking and watching the play. Women and children will stand besides watching until the men’s day end.

To prepare for men’s day, the old men who enjoy the most prestige in the village will inform every family of providing rice, flour, ghee, meat and firewood needed in the festival. Before China’s liberation, lots of the poor cannot provide the stuff for the festival so that they give up the chance to attend it. But now it’s quite different. Every man can pay for the festival. And once there are 105 men attending the festival. Every day in men’s day, women from every family will serve the men in turn to drink. During these days, men are sovereign and happy. But after the festival, men and women will stay equal to each other.
