This is called encampment
since camps are pitched east, west,
north
and middle regions.
Performance adds excitement by playing
a special "exorcism music"
and moves around the five directions
to soothe all the ghosts and keep
prosperity of the village with the
help of those ghosts.
Sometimes it is played in two or three
abridged version.
Pitching five camps is a demonstration
of showing how strong the friendly
force is with the purpose of demoralizing
the enemy
