an annual festival observed by the Lamas of Thibet on the third day of the first moon, at Lha-Ssa. It lasts six days, and is designed to give the devout an opportunity to implore the blessings of the Tale-Lama, and to make a pilgrimage to the celebrated Buddhist monastery called Morou, which occupies the centre of the town. See Huc, Travels in Tartary and Thibet.
