Saga Dawa Festival

Saga Dawa is an auspicious month for Sikkimese. It is also known as the Triple Blessed Festival. When the Saga star appears in the sky in the fourth month of the Tibetan calendar, Tibetan Buddhists celebrate the auspicious time of the year.

This month's festival on full moon day celebrates Buddhist Shakyamuni. Those born, knowledge, and nirvana were all born in the same month and reached its peak on 15 April. Assuming that good deeds and prayers multiplied during this period, people are much more compassionate than usual.

The Jokhang chant around the temple and offer alms to the needy, avoiding killing animals. They release animals in their natural habitats with a sincere prayer like fish. More pilgrims visit Mount Kailash during the Saga Dawa festival to attend the flag-raising ceremony at Tarabache and kora around Mount, which is the biggest activity for Tibetan Buddhists.
