Losar—The Tibetan New Year
|
Losar—The Tibetan New Year is celebrated mostly in India, Nepal, Tibet, Sikkim, and Bhutan. It will be celebrated between 24 February and 26 February every year. The festival came into existence much before Buddhism was celebrated as a gesture of thanks to the Gods. Initially celebrated mostly among farmers, Losar went on to become a predominantly Buddhist festival celebrating the commencement of the New Year.
