Monlam Festival (Grand Prayer Festival) Amdo 2025
Explicit
The Monlam Festival (Tibetan: སྨོན་ལམ།, meaning “Prayer Festival”), also known as the Great Prayer Festival, is one of the most important religious festivals in Tibetan Buddhism, particularly in the Amdo region of Tibet (present-day Qinghai Province). It is celebrated by the Tibetan people across the Tibetan Plateau, including Amdo, Ü-Tsang, and Kham, but the version in Amdo has a unique regional flavor due to the area’s cultural and historical context.
