Tibetan lamas prepare for upcoming new year

Tibetan lamas make colorful plates at a lama temple in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, Feb. 19, 2009. These plates are made from butter and will be inserted on Qiema, a two-tier rectangular wooden box containing roasted barley and food prepared with butter, parched barley meal and sugar. Local people are making preparation for the Tibetan New Year, which falls on Feb. 25. (Xinhua Photo)
