“There is a need to further strengthen the traditional and cultural ties between India and Tibet,” said Agnihotri. “In all upcoming fairs, festivals and cultural events in Himachal Pradesh, Tibetan cultural performances and traditions will be given prominence,” he added.

He was speaking at Sambhota Tibetan School in Chhota Shimla where the 90th birthday of the 14th Dalai Lama was celebrated by Tibetan community-in-exile.

“The Central Tibetan Administration has been operating peacefully from Dharamshala for decades now. Initially, it functioned for a year from Mussoorie, but since then, McLeodganj known as ‘Mini Tibet’ has become the heart of Tibetan exile in India,” he added.
