त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| Losar | The eleventh Tibetan month, usually December | The Ladakhi new year, kept about two months earlier than the Tibetan one. Houses are cleaned and whitewashed, dough ibex figures and butter ornaments are made, torches are carried through the village, effigies are dispatched, and the round of visiting and chhang begins. The early date is traditionally explained by a king advancing the festival before setting out on a winter campaign, and it was never put back. |
| Galdan Namchot | Late December | Marking the birth, enlightenment and death of Tsongkhapa, founder of the Gelug order. Every monastery, house and shopfront is lit, which in the darkest fortnight of the year makes it the region's most visible festival. |
| Hemis Tsechu | Tenth day of the fifth Tibetan month, June or July | Two days of Cham in the Hemis courtyard, honouring Guru Padmasambhava. Once every twelve years, in the monkey year, the monastery's great appliqué thangka is unfurled down the courtyard wall. |
| Dosmoche | The twelfth Tibetan month, February | Held at Leh and at Likir and Diskit in rotation with the other winter festivals. Cham is performed and an elaborate structure of dough and thread, into which the year's misfortune has been drawn, is carried out of the town and destroyed. |
| Matho Nagrang | The first Tibetan month, February or March | The festival at which the two Matho oracles appear after months of retreat and answer questions put by villagers. Unusually among Ladakhi festivals, the central performers are not dancers but the oracles themselves. |
| Stok Guru Tsechu | The first Tibetan month, February or March | Cham at Stok, at which the oracles are drawn from the lay village population rather than the monastery — two men chosen and prepared by the monks. |
| Yuru Kabgyat | The fifth or sixth Tibetan month, June or July | Lamayuru's festival, with Cham performed against the eroded badlands below the monastery and a torma effigy destroyed at its close. |
| Karsha Gustor and Phyang Tsedup | The sixth and seventh Tibetan months, July and August | The summer festivals of Zanskar's principal monastery and of Phyang above the Indus — both centred on Cham and both timed to the weeks when the passes are open and villages can travel. |
| Muharram in the Suru and Shyok valleys | The first ten days of Muharram, lunar | Observed by the Shia Muslim communities of Kargil, the Suru valley and the lower Shyok, with majlis, processions and the distribution of cooked food — the region's other major religious calendar, running on an entirely different reckoning from the monastic one. |
| Ladakh Harvest Festival | September | A modern government-organised festival across Leh and the villages, staging archery, polo, Cham demonstrations, Shondol and craft displays at the end of the tourist season. It is not an old observance, but it is now the main occasion on which the region's forms are performed together in one place. |
