Why do Tibetans celebrate New Year on the first day of February?

The Tibetan New Year is celebrated on the Lunar New Year, usually on the first day of February. This time is based on the Tibetan calendar. The Tibetan calendar is a calendar based on the cycles of the sun and the moon, and consists of a merger of the lunar and solar calendars. According to the tradition of the Tibetan calendar, the names of the 12 months of the year are fixed, and the first day of the month is called "Shuo" and the last day is called "Hsi".

The Tibetan New Year's Day is often called "Losu Festival", and the timing of this festival is based on the Tibetan calendar. According to the rules of the Tibetan calendar, from the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the "Dhana Pulo" (meaning "the season of Hajj"), which is an important time of worship and rest. The first day of the first month is the Tibetan calendar, "Dalai's birth", "the sun runs to the eleventh house of the ecliptic", and "Buddha nirvana day" combination of days. Thus, the Tibetan people will be the first day of the first month as the beginning of the new year, to celebrate this important festival.
