Other Information - Dates: It is not certain when this photograph was taken. It appears in the middle of an album of negatives [Album D] which generally derive from the period March - July 1927. However, Hopkinson makes no mention in his journal letters of this period of attending such an occasion at Palkhor Chode. He does, however, mention visiting one of the monastic establishments of Palkhor Chode for the end of year ceremonies in 1928, at which he witnessed Black Hat dancers performing. It appears that there may be Black Hat dancers in this procession and this photograph may, therefore, have been taken on that date, the image at a later date being repositioned in Album D just before a series of images of a large ceremony at Tengoling Monastery [MS 17/07/2006]
