Lodsoong

This Bhutia festival marks the end of the harvest season and also the end of the Tibetan Year. Chaams (religious dances) symbolising the victory of good over evil are performed at the Tsug Lakhang, Phodong and Rumtek monasteries.. Archery competitions are held amidst much feasting and merrymaking.

Dasain

More or less occurring a few weeks before Losoong, Dasain is the main festival of the Hindu Nepalese in Sikkim. This too signifies the victory of good over evil. The elders of the family apply 'tika'on the young and bless them.

Tihaar

Corresponding to the Indian festival of Diwali, Tihaar is also celebrated as the Festival of Lights in Sikkim with the lighting of lamps accompanied with traditional carolling called Deusi and Bhailo.
