Tarboche Flag Pole

People from all over Tibet gather here on the Tibetan Buddhist festival Saga Dawa to attach their prayer flags they brought from home, to pray, and to help erect the flagpole. The flagpole should stand perfectly upright, or else things are not good for Tibet . A Lama leads the whole ceremony from the nearby monastery. It's his job to make it work 'right first time'.
