 Tens of thousands of pilgrims and tourists from home and abroad watch the giant Thangka of the Buddha Sakyamuni during the Shoton Festival at the Drepung Monastery in Lhasa, capital of China's Tibet Autonomous Region on Thursday, Aug. 8, 2002. The Giant Thangka activity, always held on June 30, according to the Tibetan calendar, is the highlight of the Festival. The Shoton Festival is known as the Yogurt Festival since locals have the tradition of eating Tibetan yogurt during the gala. (AP Photo/Xinhua, Cui Feng) Got any interesting photos?
