Sonam Lhoshar Celebration In Nepal
People gather at an open ground to celebrate the early Sonam Lhosar celebration on the outskirts of Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 25, 2025. 'Lho' means year and 'Sar' means new or fresh when translated, and the word 'Sonam' refers to the Tamang people in Nepal. Thus, the festival 'Sonam Lhosar' is the New Year event according to the calendar followed by the Tamang people. The Sonam Lhosar festival is celebrated every year on the occasion of Magh Shukla Pratipada with various programs. Sonam Lhosar is divided into 12 categories: rat, cow, tiger, rabbit, dragon (cloud), snake, horse, sheep, monkey, bird, dog, and pig. The indigenous Tamang community this year celebrates the year of the Snake. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
