A four-day Kalachakra ceremony has began at Kumbum monastery in Qinghai’s Tsoshar prefecture, a local source told Radio Free Asia. The ceremony was conducted by Geja Rinpoche, a senior Tibetan religious leader. A massive crowd of around 200,000 people including Tibetans, Monglians, and Han Chinese were reported to have gathered for the ceremony. The Kalachakra has been conducted many times outside Tibet by His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
