The annual "Sera Bengqin Festival" is an important religious event celebrated four days before the Tibetan New Year. It is held exclusively at Sera Monastery, one of the three leading monasteries in Lhasa alongside Drepung and Ganden.

Devout Tibetan buddhists held pure white hada, a traditional white scarf, in hand and sincerely prayed while moving slowly in the kilometers-long line outside of the monastery in suburban Lhasa.

Yeshe, a 73-year-old man, traveled nearly 100 km from his home in Yangbajing township, Dangxiong County with his grandson to this event.
