The Tibetan New Year's festival was celebrated in Lhasa by numerous rituals and festivites, which in exile are performed only in a considerably simplified form. The offering of incense, for example, was made in Tibet on the third day of the first Tibetan (lunar) month, in exile already on the second day. The offerings of incense and other objects are made to satisfy or to remove all forces causing trouble and mischief.
