And even more celebrations begin after dinner.

Basang waves a straw-made torch into each and every room to expel evil spirits. And then he and his family set off firecrackers and fireworks, hoping the coming year will be an auspicious one.

Basang's daughter said, "I enjoy being with my family. I hope the New Year will be a prosperous one. "

The Tibetan New Year is also a religious occasion.

First thing in the morning after the New Year is ushered in, Basang worships the deity in his family. He puts forward an offering of barley flour and grain praying for a good year for his business.
