Losar (February)
Sherpas and Tibetans welcome their New Year with feasts, family visits
and dancing. Families don their finest clothes and jewellery and exchange
gifts.
Buddhist monks offer prayers for good health and prosperity,
and perform dances at the monasteries. Colorful prayer flags decorate
streets and rooftops; the colors seem especially brilliant at the Bouddha
and Swayambhu stupas. Crowds of celebrants at Bouddha bring in the New
Year by throwing tsampa (roasted barley flour) into the air. |
