Also known as Losar, the Tibetan New Year is the most important festival for Tibetans. It usually falls one month later than the Spring Festival, the Chinese Lunar New Year, and the celebration lasts two weeks. The festival features ancient ceremonies including a ritual representing the struggle between good and evil by chanting and passing fire torches through the crowds. |
