Nepal's Indigenous Tamang Community Celebrates New Year- Sonam Lhoshar

Shamans dance to the beat of drums as they take part in a rally organized in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 30, welcoming the New Year of the Tamang Community. 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)
