No, look at their dresses they are more or less exactly the same.

News flash... Monks all dress the same too... As do ngakpa from the same gompa...

Or they may be wearing a specific costume, which is used for the specific ritual...

Right, they dress up as folk dance team because they are from the same Gompa. :smile:
