LOSHAR

This is celebrated every year on Tibetan New Year’s Day which falls on Parewa (First) day of Falgun (February). On this day the Sherpas perform their monotonous but highly rhythmic folk songs and dances in groups known as Sheru and in 2 to 4 known as Nangding Solu. This Loshar festival arouses in all Sherpa and Bhotia areas a festive mood that continues for weeks starting from the first day of Falgun (February). This day is being the Tibetan New Year day, they dance in groups, sing folk songs and organise feasts, all in their own costumes and traditions.
