Losar is celebrated mostly in India, Nepal, Tibet, Sikkim, and Bhutan. It will be celebrated between 24 February and 26 February 2020. The festival came into existence much before Buddhism was celebrated as a gesture of thanks to the Gods. Initially celebrated mostly among farmers,
Losar went on to become a predominantly Buddhist festival celebrating the commencement of the New Year. Their belief was the happiness of the Gods and spirits would ensure the wellbeing of the people in the New Year. Losar also involved gratitude for harvest, similar to Vaisakhi in India. As Buddhism seeped into Tibetan culture, celebrations of Losar also adopted a Buddhist tilt in the rites and customs. Pre-Buddhist Losar involved people igniting incense sticks to dedicate to the local Gods and spirits. During the festival, people celebrate by some ancient ceremonies which represent the struggle between good and evil. Lamas are chanting and passing fire torches through the crowds. People perform the dance of the deer and amusing battles between the king and his ministers, and so on, people are cheering for the coming new year by dancing, singing, and merrymaking.
