An annual festival formerly held in Nyagchuka in Kardze but banned for the last 20 years, has been given permission to go ahead once again, reports Radio Free Asia. The festival, which features horse races and picnics, was banned in 2002, the year when the revered Tulku Tenzin Delek was arrested. Tulku Tenzin Delek attended the festivals and the event included teachings and religious plays.
