This series forms part of a decade-long project documenting Tibetan Buddhism across its highland realms. This year's journey — from Losar celebrations in Tawang, Arunachal Pradesh, through Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, and Amdo (China) — filled key gaps in my coverage of Arunachal Pradesh and Bhutan while capturing diverse facets of faith through varied techniques and lenses. It pays homage to the profound, enduring faith that sustains these mountainous communities navigating modernity while remaining firmly rooted in their tradition.
