Gayong Zeren is an assistant researcher at the Astronomy and Calendar Institute of the Tibetan Hospital of the Tibet Autonomous Region. The time interval between the Tibetan New Year and the Lunar New Year is generally divided into three situations: the same day, one day difference, and one month difference.
In 2024, they are on same day. In September 2023, during the Bathing Festival, people washed themselves on the banks of the Lhasa River. When the King of Medicine rises, the festival officially begins and lasts for seven days every year.
