Losar

Buddhist Gelugpa monks wearing heavy maroon robes congregate outside the main prayer hall of Labrang Monastery, for Losar prayers, at Tibet's New Year.

Each day during Losar thousands of pilgrims walk the kora around the monastery, which is lined with prayer wheels.

Established in 1709, Labrang housed over 4000 monks at its peak, but now only has around 1500 monks.
