"Unveiling Losar: The Vibrant Tibetan New Year Celebration"
The Tibetan New Year, or Losar, is a significant festival originating from the pre-Buddhist period, marking the winter solstice and later incorporating Buddhist traditions. Celebrated in January or February, it lasts for 15 days, with the main festivities in the first three days, involving religious rituals, cultural performances, feasting, gift exchanges, and visits to friends and relatives. Losar serves as a time of renewal, family gatherings, and reaffirmation of values like love and compassion.Home
