The Tibetan New Year, or Losar, is the most ceremonious traditional festival in Tibet, which usually falls on the first day of the first month of Tibetan calendar in most areas of Tibet, while residents of other areas might celebrate the festival on different dates.
On the Dec. 29 of Tibetan calendar every year, a series of celebrations will begin, including a family reunion, eating "Gutu" (a kind of dough drops), snatching auspicious water and burning aromatic plants, as well as New Year visits. Sports such as horse race and tug-of-war will also join in the cerebrations, which will not end until the 15th day of the first month.
