Tsagaan Sar – Mongolian Lunar Year Celebration in Australia

While the calendar year of 2019 is well underway, many Asian cultures are now celebrating the Lunar New Year, and Mongolian communities are no different. The Tsagaan Sar celebration sees Mongolians herald the end of a harsh Winter with gifts, love and ceremony. Tsagaan Sar is one the most popular traditional festivities in Mongolia to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It heralds the first day of Spring in Mongolia, typically a relief for the herders, nomads and other Mongolians who have endured the freezing Winter, where temperatures regularly dip below -35C.
