Losar, the new year celebrations of Bhutan

Losar is one of the most celebrated festivals in Bhutan. Losar literally means  New Year, where “lo” means “year” and “sar” means “new”. I t is a time for family reunions, strengthening communal ties, and celebrating cultural traditions with rites and bonds . Losar is celebrated on the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar. The lunar calendar is based on the Tibetan calendar which was in turn based on the Mongolian calendar centuries ago. It normally doesn’t align with the Gregorian calendar and as such we don’t celebrate on the 1st of January.

How we celebrate New Year in Bhutan

Being one of the most significant celebrations, the country observes a national holiday, with government offices and schools closed. In 2022, it will be celebrated on March 3rd; the celebration can last up to two weeks; however, the first three days of the New Year are the most important.

The first day of New Year marks the end of the year when people wish for peace and prosperity for themselves, their families, and their animals. The day begins with a bath and offering milk, butter, rice, green leaves, and other items to each house’s altar. They purify their homes by burning juniper incense and then lighting butter lamps to ward off evil spirits. People in communities also place colourful prayer flags on top of their homes to pray for a prosperous year free of deaths and illnesses in the home and village. On this day, temples and monasteries are lavishly decorated, and special rituals known as “puja” are performed at the monasteries. The torma (Buddhist cake) ceremony, in which prayers are made to align everyone’s energies for the coming year is the highlight.

Bhutanese people, like most other Asian nations, cheerfully greet each other with warm wishes during these brief days and are inundated with thousands of greetings and messages on Losar eve and day. People say “Tashi Delek” to each other during this special event because it is a local greeting and a wish for a lucky and prosperous new year. New Year in Bhutan is also a good time to try a variety of national dishes, such as red rice, stews, and chilli peppers, as well as a sweet menu that includes fried biscuits, diced sugar cane, and fruit. Sugarcane and green bananas, according to local belief, must be presented on this occasion because they bring good fortune for the coming year.

In Bhutan, the day is also known as the Traditional Day of Offering as some people claim that residents of Bhutan made their annual offering of grains to Zhapdrung Ngakwang Namgyel in Punakha on this day. The Trongsa Penlop is said to have led the representatives of eight eastern regions in their offerings, as the Paro Penlop coordinated the people of western Bhutan and the Darkar Ponlop oversaw the people of the south. In this regard, some people place a great significance on this New Year as a marker of Bhutan’s sovereignty and solidarity. Sonam Chophel, Karma Phuntsho

The biggest celebration occurs when families and friends visit each other’s homes and local monasteries to celebrate and share meals. Long into the night, there is dancing and singing. People exchange gifts, dress up in new clothes for Losar, and enjoy simple pleasures such as family gatherings and watching movies at home. They spend their time celebrating and rejoicing in life.

On this day, families enjoy outdoor activities together, such as going on a picnic. Darts and Archery, Bhutan’s national sports, are played during the Losar New Year. The locals drink huge amounts of alcohol and drown themselves in the revelry of their traditional hard liquor, ara. Everyone abandons their fields and important tasks to celebrate the day wholeheartedly. Many people in the tiny country of Bhutan also use it as an opportunity to make new year’s resolutions in order to stay motivated in the coming year.

In 1958, Bernard Pignede, a French student of anthropology came to Nepal to observe Gurungs. He spent seven months in a Gurung village Mohoriya (Kaski, Gandaki), and traveled through many neighboring Gurung villages to do his studies.

He learned to talk the Gurung dialect and documented quite a great deal of everything approximately the Gurungs – their social structure, subculture, faith, records, occupations, legends, and myths. He translated Pae, a ritual and non-secular practice that one Gurung technology has handed all the way down to every other for hundreds of years.

Pae conveys the oral records of Gurungs and is considered very sacred. Sadly, Pignede died unfortunately at the age of 29, in the year 1961. After his loss of life, Professor Louis Dumont posted Pegnede’s work in 1966. The book was straight away identified as a major contribution to the anthropology of the Himalayas.

Later, two state anthropologists – Sarah Harrison and Alan Macfarlane translated it into English and posted the primary English version in 1993. Harrison and Macfarlane did also look at Gurungs and added extra to Pegnede’s work. The English model of the book is called “The Gurungs”, which is probably the maximum acclaimed study on Gurungs up to now.

An excerpt taken from Bernard Pegnede’s book “The Gurungs” consists of a quick record of the Gurungs as compiled by using Bhovar Palje Tamu and Yarjung Kromchhe Tamu based totally upon the Pae. “The Tamu (Gurung) Pye refers back to the very start of civilization, extra than eight or nine thousand years ago.

They tell the origin of humans and of the substances that they used. Tamu priests still use a number of those primitive utensils in their rituals. Tamu Pye tells how the first human beings lived in Cho (Tso) Nasa, a lakeside village, in which they planted the primary grain, barley.

Then they dispersed to different locations such as Sa Nasa, Two Nasa, Si Nasa, and Kro Nasa, the latter being in the south, warm and fertile. different Tamu villages evolved in step with their proximity to the northern and southern ends.

Other interesting articles, frequently asked questions about writing an essay, an appeal to the senses: the development of the braille system in nineteenth-century france.

The invention of Braille was a major turning point in the history of disability. The writing system of raised dots used by visually impaired people was developed by Louis Braille in nineteenth-century France. In a society that did not value disabled people in general, blindness was particularly stigmatized, and lack of access to reading and writing was a significant barrier to social participation. The idea of tactile reading was not entirely new, but existing methods based on sighted systems were difficult to learn and use. As the first writing system designed for blind people’s needs, Braille was a groundbreaking new accessibility tool. It not only provided practical benefits, but also helped change the cultural status of blindness. This essay begins by discussing the situation of blind people in nineteenth-century Europe. It then describes the invention of Braille and the gradual process of its acceptance within blind education. Subsequently, it explores the wide-ranging effects of this invention on blind people’s social and cultural lives.

Lack of access to reading and writing put blind people at a serious disadvantage in nineteenth-century society. Text was one of the primary methods through which people engaged with culture, communicated with others, and accessed information; without a well-developed reading system that did not rely on sight, blind people were excluded from social participation (Weygand, 2009). While disabled people in general suffered from discrimination, blindness was widely viewed as the worst disability, and it was commonly believed that blind people were incapable of pursuing a profession or improving themselves through culture (Weygand, 2009). This demonstrates the importance of reading and writing to social status at the time: without access to text, it was considered impossible to fully participate in society. Blind people were excluded from the sighted world, but also entirely dependent on sighted people for information and education.

In France, debates about how to deal with disability led to the adoption of different strategies over time. While people with temporary difficulties were able to access public welfare, the most common response to people with long-term disabilities, such as hearing or vision loss, was to group them together in institutions (Tombs, 1996). At first, a joint institute for the blind and deaf was created, and although the partnership was motivated more by financial considerations than by the well-being of the residents, the institute aimed to help people develop skills valuable to society (Weygand, 2009). Eventually blind institutions were separated from deaf institutions, and the focus shifted towards education of the blind, as was the case for the Royal Institute for Blind Youth, which Louis Braille attended (Jimenez et al, 2009). The growing acknowledgement of the uniqueness of different disabilities led to more targeted education strategies, fostering an environment in which the benefits of a specifically blind education could be more widely recognized.

Several different systems of tactile reading can be seen as forerunners to the method Louis Braille developed, but these systems were all developed based on the sighted system. The Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris taught the students to read embossed roman letters, a method created by the school’s founder, Valentin Hauy (Jimenez et al., 2009). Reading this way proved to be a rather arduous task, as the letters were difficult to distinguish by touch. The embossed letter method was based on the reading system of sighted people, with minimal adaptation for those with vision loss. As a result, this method did not gain significant success among blind students.

Louis Braille was bound to be influenced by his school’s founder, but the most influential pre-Braille tactile reading system was Charles Barbier’s night writing. A soldier in Napoleon’s army, Barbier developed a system in 1819 that used 12 dots with a five line musical staff (Kersten, 1997). His intention was to develop a system that would allow the military to communicate at night without the need for light (Herron, 2009). The code developed by Barbier was phonetic (Jimenez et al., 2009); in other words, the code was designed for sighted people and was based on the sounds of words, not on an actual alphabet. Barbier discovered that variants of raised dots within a square were the easiest method of reading by touch (Jimenez et al., 2009). This system proved effective for the transmission of short messages between military personnel, but the symbols were too large for the fingertip, greatly reducing the speed at which a message could be read (Herron, 2009). For this reason, it was unsuitable for daily use and was not widely adopted in the blind community.

Nevertheless, Barbier’s military dot system was more efficient than Hauy’s embossed letters, and it provided the framework within which Louis Braille developed his method. Barbier’s system, with its dashes and dots, could form over 4000 combinations (Jimenez et al., 2009). Compared to the 26 letters of the Latin alphabet, this was an absurdly high number. Braille kept the raised dot form, but developed a more manageable system that would reflect the sighted alphabet. He replaced Barbier’s dashes and dots with just six dots in a rectangular configuration (Jimenez et al., 2009). The result was that the blind population in France had a tactile reading system using dots (like Barbier’s) that was based on the structure of the sighted alphabet (like Hauy’s); crucially, this system was the first developed specifically for the purposes of the blind.

While the Braille system gained immediate popularity with the blind students at the Institute in Paris, it had to gain acceptance among the sighted before its adoption throughout France. This support was necessary because sighted teachers and leaders had ultimate control over the propagation of Braille resources. Many of the teachers at the Royal Institute for Blind Youth resisted learning Braille’s system because they found the tactile method of reading difficult to learn (Bullock & Galst, 2009). This resistance was symptomatic of the prevalent attitude that the blind population had to adapt to the sighted world rather than develop their own tools and methods. Over time, however, with the increasing impetus to make social contribution possible for all, teachers began to appreciate the usefulness of Braille’s system (Bullock & Galst, 2009), realizing that access to reading could help improve the productivity and integration of people with vision loss. It took approximately 30 years, but the French government eventually approved the Braille system, and it was established throughout the country (Bullock & Galst, 2009).

Although Blind people remained marginalized throughout the nineteenth century, the Braille system granted them growing opportunities for social participation. Most obviously, Braille allowed people with vision loss to read the same alphabet used by sighted people (Bullock & Galst, 2009), allowing them to participate in certain cultural experiences previously unavailable to them. Written works, such as books and poetry, had previously been inaccessible to the blind population without the aid of a reader, limiting their autonomy. As books began to be distributed in Braille, this barrier was reduced, enabling people with vision loss to access information autonomously. The closing of the gap between the abilities of blind and the sighted contributed to a gradual shift in blind people’s status, lessening the cultural perception of the blind as essentially different and facilitating greater social integration.

The Braille system also had important cultural effects beyond the sphere of written culture. Its invention later led to the development of a music notation system for the blind, although Louis Braille did not develop this system himself (Jimenez, et al., 2009). This development helped remove a cultural obstacle that had been introduced by the popularization of written musical notation in the early 1500s. While music had previously been an arena in which the blind could participate on equal footing, the transition from memory-based performance to notation-based performance meant that blind musicians were no longer able to compete with sighted musicians (Kersten, 1997). As a result, a tactile musical notation system became necessary for professional equality between blind and sighted musicians (Kersten, 1997).

Braille paved the way for dramatic cultural changes in the way blind people were treated and the opportunities available to them. Louis Braille’s innovation was to reimagine existing reading systems from a blind perspective, and the success of this invention required sighted teachers to adapt to their students’ reality instead of the other way around. In this sense, Braille helped drive broader social changes in the status of blindness. New accessibility tools provide practical advantages to those who need them, but they can also change the perspectives and attitudes of those who do not.

Discover proofreading & editing

An essay is a focused piece of writing that explains, argues, describes, or narrates.

In high school, you may have to write many different types of essays to develop your writing skills.

Academic essays at college level are usually argumentative : you develop a clear thesis about your topic and make a case for your position using evidence, analysis and interpretation.

The structure of an essay is divided into an introduction that presents your topic and thesis statement , a body containing your in-depth analysis and arguments, and a conclusion wrapping up your ideas.

The structure of the body is flexible, but you should always spend some time thinking about how you can organize your essay to best serve your ideas.

Your essay introduction should include three main things, in this order:

  • An opening hook to catch the reader’s attention.
  • Relevant background information that the reader needs to know.
  • A thesis statement that presents your main point or argument.

The length of each part depends on the length and complexity of your essay .

A thesis statement is a sentence that sums up the central point of your paper or essay . Everything else you write should relate to this key idea.

A topic sentence is a sentence that expresses the main point of a paragraph . Everything else in the paragraph should relate to the topic sentence.

At college level, you must properly cite your sources in all essays , research papers , and other academic texts (except exams and in-class exercises).

Add a citation whenever you quote , paraphrase , or summarize information or ideas from a source. You should also give full source details in a bibliography or reference list at the end of your text.

The exact format of your citations depends on which citation style you are instructed to use. The most common styles are APA , MLA , and Chicago .

essay on losar in english

Essay text:

A "real" loser is the person who will do your homework in a valiant attempt to be "cool." A "total" loser is the intermediate stage of "loser-hood." Once someone has reached this stage, it is very hard for them to turn back. People in this category seem to have an epileptic attack when they laugh. As a bystander, you're not sure whether to save them and grab hold of their tongue or pretend to be completely oblivious to this hysteria. If the bystander did decide to intervene, then he/she would be risking his/her own "coolness," and God forbid that. A "total" loser would stuff his mouth with horseradishes just to be written down in the yearbook as the "most likely" to do anything for attention...
