Kucho and its associated term gongzog are traditional Himalayan ways of commemorating the demise of an important spiritual figure. While kucho refers to the offerings made to the deceased master, gongdzog literally means the fulfilment of his or her wishes and thoughts. Thus, a kucho/gongzog commemoration is an opportunity to make offerings to and also fulfil the wishes of the person in question. in some Himalayan areas, the commemoration is also known as decho, or offerings on the death anniversary.
