In the high-altitude sanctuary of the Tsuglagkhang complex, a community of Tibetan monks and laypeople gathers to observe the Tsetor ceremony, a profound ritual marking the first day of the Tibetan New Year. The atmosphere is thick with devotion as the faithful invoke the protection of Palden Lhamo, the fierce and revered guardian deity of Tibet. Through rhythmic chanting, traditional music, and the burning of ceremonial offerings, the participants seek to cleanse the past and invite auspicious blessings for the year ahead, creating a powerful tapestry of spiritual resilience and cultural continuity.
