Closing Ceremonies

The Losar celebrations come to an end with the Chunga Choepa ceremony, a ritualistic offering to appease the local deities. People gather in public spaces and light incense and candles while offering food, drinks and other items to the gods. This is followed by the ritual of throwing Tsampa, a roasted barley flour, into the air as a symbol of letting go of the past year and embracing new beginnings.
