-*A wooden frame ([[nam mkha']]) around which coloured threads ([[rgyang bu]]) are bound and feathers attached. This contraption is utilised in rituals designed for the catching and exorcising of evil spirits and negative forces. The structure assumes a different form, depending on the type of spirit or malevolent force, which is to be exorcised.
