God in haven is believed to descend to the mortal world on this day. Incense is burnt in large scales and picnicking is enjoyed in the public parks. The 15th day of the fourth month on the Tibetan calendar is said to be the birthday of Shakyamuni, and the day when he died and attained Nirvana. During this period, hundreds of thousands of people turn their prayer wheels on the street in Lhasa and sing and dance in the afternoon.
Saga Dawa Festival on June 12 marks the birth, transcendence and death of Shakyamuni. Pilgrims and secular folks will visit Lhasa, Mt. Kailash and other holy sites and the festival is observed by turning prayer wheels, rising flags, performing ritual dance having vegetarian food. Folk entertainers will perform Tibetan tradition; they will pay their homage to Buddha, observe a vegetarian rule, and refrain from killing domestic animals.
