IBA celebrated Saga Dawa on the 15th day of the Tibetan month with prayers and tea light candles around the Stupa at IBA. Many monks also went to Swayambu and Boudha to do Kora which is a transliteration of a Tibetan word that means ‘circumambulation’. Kora is both a type of pilgrimage and a type of meditative practice and is performed daily or on special occasions such as Saga Dawa. The skies were clear with great views of the full moon.
