Tsagaan Sar, meaning \u201cWhite Moon,\u201d is Mongolia\u2019s Lunar New Year and one of the most important and sacred holidays in Mongolian culture. It marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring, symbolizing purity, renewal, and a fresh start. The exact date changes every year because it follows the lunar calendar, usually falling in late January or February.<\/p>

It is a time when families gather from near and far, wearing traditional deel and preparing their homes to welcome good fortune for the new year. Tsagaan Sar reflects the deep values of Mongolian nomadic life\u2014respect for elders, harmony with nature, and strong family bonds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
