Three shaman (poju) in central Nepal conduct an elaborate, ten-hour, ritual called the 'Moshi Tiba'. An unlucky death has occurred and they chant and then summon down the dead person's spirit. In a final wild fit of drumming and in a state of possession they fight against the witches and other evil spirits which are trying to capture the dead person's spirit. The first shaman shown in this film is Yarjung Kromchain Tamu, a distinguished shaman from Yanjakot.

Filmed by Alan Macfarlane in the 1990's.
