Western Tibetan Boots (Festival Part II)

Western Tibetans flocked to Mcleod Ganj in March 2007 to get close to their Dalai Lama and to perform some traditional Tibetan dancing.
Different costumes/groups represent different areas of Western Tibet although most of the performers are refugees living outside of Tibet, mainly in the Khatmandu valley of Nepal.

I was unable to photograph the 5 minutes when Dalai Lama greeted the Western Tibetans outside his residence in Mcleod Ganj on his way to the temple. For that a fairly strict permit is needed.
