Butter sculpture in Tibet
People who keep an eye on Tibet travel are always interested in Tibet culture not only the custom but also the art.
Butter sculpture is a unique art of the ethnic Tibetan group. And in Tibetan monasteries, lamas are assigned to learn this handwork and make butter sculptures on various occasions.
According to the local custom, a splendid butter sculpture exhibition will be held on every Butter Sculpture Festival (January 15 on the Tibetan calendar) during the Losar dharma ritual.
When evening falls on that day, Jokhang Temple will display all kinds of sculptures made of yak butter in the Buddha Hall, such as Buddhist statues, figures, flowers and trees, together with butter lamps to pray for peace and good luck.
