Bhutanese New Year — Losar

Losar marks the Bhutanese new year with processions, house-to-house visits and butter lamp offerings. The altars are cleaned, the buildings are painted, and every family performs a small rite in the days before. Watching it is watching a country celebrate the year it has just been given.
