Tibet-2 19 Laru Mountain God Festivals

this gentleman invited me to join him and a group of other older men enjoying the festival in one of the villages. I guess grey hair helps. We shared a shot of the local alcohol which in this village seemed to be given by the mens children as a gift to the seniors. Alcohol played varying roles in the different villages. In some it seemed to provide some courage to the young men, while other villages were largely dry. In all it was part of the offering and quite a lot was spilt on the ground as offerings to the mountain god.

Some brief background to the festivals can be found here. Please do not reblog without these links.
