Village Benzhu Festival
Benzhu are local protector deities in the Dali area, their worship is a key element of Bai identity.
In the Dali area, almost every Bai village has a Benzhu Temple, the home of a local protector spirit. These protector spirits are mostly historic figures, such as local heros, kings, generals or others who have through good deeds won the adulation of the local population.
Each Benzhu usually has his own festival day, with activities varying greatly from place to place.
This Benzhu festival is supposed to start on the evening of the 14th with a village feast and continue for three days until the 17th.
Festival held according to lunar calendar on 农历6月15.
