A giant painting of the Buddha is unveiled by the monks of Drepung Monastery, Tibet’s largest monastery, at the Yogurt Festival held there each August for the past 300 years. Located near Lhasa, Tibet, the monastery is one of three celebrated “university” monasteries for Tibetan Buddhists, each of which has a counterpart monastery in exile in India that houses monks who left Tibet when the Chinese invaded in 1959.
