Tsam means masked dance. “Tsam Masks” are part of the Buddhist Tsam dance ceremony – a secret tantric rituals. The Tsam dance is enriched with various Mongol cultural elements, namely the creative imagination and aesthetics of Mongol craftsmen, the roles of heroic figures of folk myths and epics, and elements of shamanic and archaic religious phenomena. These Mongol elements give the dance its own Mongol character. Tsam is a complex art of religion and culture, practiced as an integration of body, language, and intellect into a single meaning with the help of dance movements and the charm of religious chanting and meditation.
