Tibetans inside and outside Tibet observed the Tibetan new year, Losar, with muted celebrations and prayers as a mark of respect and solidarity with the ongoing critical situation in Tibet. In McLeod Ganj, the customary ‘Tsetor’ ceremony was held early in the morning at the Tsug-la Khang, the main temple. Thousands of Tibetans wearing traditional dress visited the Tsug-la Khang to offer prayers.
