Tsagaan Sar is the traditional Mongolian New Year festival, which lasts for 3 days this year. Tsagaan Sar means "white moon". The Mongolian New Year festival is based on the lunar calendar and is celebrated in January and February.

The festival is aimed at strengthening family ties and paying respect to the elderly. People visit their elderly family and friends and eat "buuz". Then everyone goes home with gifts.

They eat all kinds of sweets, such as this cookie tower. It remains there every day. There is also a roast sheep.

Mongolians wear traditional costumes during the Lunar New Year. In the photo below, you can see three sisters who came to our house a few months ago. They lived on the street, and the oldest daughter took care of her sisters. Now she stands here, resplendent in her Lunar New Year costumes.
