Tibet’s capital city Lhasa has been swarming with armed Chinese military forces during the annual Shoton festival or Yogurt festival. The festival is celebrated in Lhasa from 15th to 24th of the fifth lunar month, which generally falls during August, and includes the Great Buddha Thangka Display, a Tibetan Opera Show, and the Horsemanship (Yak) race show. A giant fabric Thangka (religious painting) has been unfurled.
