A portrait of the Dalai Lama was displayed at a traditional horse-racing festival in China’s Sichuan province this week. In defiance of the Chinese authorities’ restrictions, festival-goers were invited to pray and make offerings as well as offering katah or ceremonial scarves. Tibetan horse-racing dates back to the seventh century and is still popular with nomads with many people traveling for days to attend festivals.
