About the rite

At a coming-of-age ceremony in Suopo Township, Danba County, on 31 May 2026, local girls dressed in ceremonial clothes and received blessings from elders and ritual specialists. In front of others, they marked their entry into adulthood and took on new responsibilities for their own lives and for passing on their culture.

The ceremony was also open to visitors as part of a cultural tourism program. The sequence described here is the one observed in Suopo.
