Tibetan dancers perform in a downtown park in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, on February 25 as part of the Losar, or Tibetan New Year, celebrations. The holiday, which dates back to pre-Buddhist times and lasts for 15 days, is the most important in the Tibetan calendar and involves elaborate rituals and meals.
This year is the Year of the Earth Ox in the Tibetan calendar. |
