Yoghurt Festival Tuesday August 10 2010 (the date changes according to the year)
*Also Shoton or Opera Festival: The origin of the festival started from the 17th century. Tsongkhapa, the founder of the Gelugpa (Yellow Sect of Buddhism), ruled that Buddhists can cultivate themselves only indoor in summer, to avoid killing newly hatched insects or other creatures carelessly, because creatures are most active in summer. Pilgrims serve meditators with yoghurt.
