Tibetan Losar Celebration 2021
Channel: Girl From Himalayas
Date: 13/02/2021

The first day of Losar in 2021 will fall on February 12. By the Tibetan calendar, this will be the first day of the Iron Ox year of 2148.
Losar-related rituals are actually divided into two quite distinct parts. First, we close out the old year and bid goodbye to all its bad aspects and negativities, with activities that center on the eve of the last night of the year, the 29th day – Nyi Shu Gu – of the Tibetan calendar. Only after that do we turn our attention to welcoming the Losar –  the “new year”  – and inviting all good, auspicious things into our homes and our lives.
