The first grand Tibetan festival in 2013, the Tibetan New Year or Losar Festival is approaching, thus Tibetan people are busy with New Year purchasing.

On the Ramoche Monastery Road, more and more Tibetans swarm into shops to buy goods including traditional decorations, clothes, food and other gifts. The busy trades between merchants and customers turn the road into a bustling market place full of holiday atmosphere.

The Tibetan New Year (also called Loasr) is the most ceremonious traditional festival of Tibetans, same as the Spring Festival to Chinese. Falling on Jan. 1st of the Tibetan calendar, the Tibetan New Year is an ethnic holiday with strong religious atmosphere and has the functions of celebrating, praying and entertaining among monks and the common people. It will last 15 days until Jan. 15th of Tibetan calendar. The Tibetan New Year 2013 will fall on Feb. 11, 2013 in solar calendar.
