Lastly, we extend our sincere thanks to the entire community and all supporters for making this event a great success.
The Tamang Society of America is pleased to inform you that on the auspicious occasion of the upcoming Sonam Lhochhar, Manjushree Year 2862 (Year of the Tiger), we will be organizing a Lhosar Puja along with a grand cultural program featuring renowned artists.
The preservation and promotion of our religion, culture, and traditions depend greatly on the cooperation and participation of all of us. Through such programs, we believe it is possible to safely pass on our unique cultural and religious heritage to future generations.
Therefore, we sincerely request all of you to attend this historic Lhosar celebration with your family and help make the event grand and successful with your presence.
The event will take place on Saturday, February 7, 2026, at the Tibetan Community Center, located at 57-12 Tibet Way, 32nd Avenue, Woodside, New York 11377. The Lhosar Puja will be आयोजित from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, followed by a cultural program featuring renowned artists from 7:00 PM until 2:00 AM.
The Tamang Society of America has expressed deep concern over the recent violent crackdown on peaceful rallies led by Nepal’s Gen-Z youth. The society strongly condemned the excessive use of force, shootings, and suppression by the state, calling it a grave violation of democratic values and human rights.
The peaceful demonstrations were organized mainly to protest against corruption within the government and to reflect the growing frustration of the youth over the lack of accountability. Instead of addressing these grievances, the government resorted to violence and even imposed a ban on social media platforms, further restricting citizens’ rights to free expression.
With lives lost and hundreds injured, the organization extended condolences to the victims’ families and urged the Nepali government to end state violence, ensure accountability through impartial investigation, and protect citizens’ right to peaceful expression.
The Tamang Society of America also calls on every parent and guardian to raise their voice for their children’s future, education, and safety. Enough is enough — the voices of the youth must be heard. The society appeals to the international community, human rights defenders, and Nepali civil society to stand in solidarity with the victims and share these events widely with international mainstream media.
The Tamang Society of America has officially released a press release regarding this issue, reaffirming its solidarity with the victims and commitment to justice.
The untimely passing of renowned Nepali folk and Tamang Selo singer Indira Gole has left the entire Nepali music industry in mourning. Her death has brought profound grief and a sense of irreplaceable loss not only to the Tamang community but also to the broader Nepali society.
Indira Gole was a distinguished artist who established a unique identity in Nepali folk music and the Tamang Selo genre. Through her songs, she beautifully reflected cultural identity, originality, and the spirit of the community, winning the hearts of listeners and audiences alike. Her contributions are expected to leave a lasting impact on the Nepali music industry.
During this difficult time, the Tamang Society of America (TSA) family has paid heartfelt tribute to the late Indira Gole and prayed for the eternal peace of her soul. They have also expressed deep condolences to the bereaved family.
Her contributions will always be remembered and wil
l continue to inspire future generations.

The Tamang Society of America extends its heartfelt gratitude to Venerable Khenpo Sarbajit Gongba Tamang for his generous contribution of $1,054 toward the Tamang Cultural and Buddhist Center (TCBC) building campaign.
Venerable Khenpo graciously offered this donation along with Dharma teachings during a special religious program organized by the Tamang Society of America in New York City. The event was held on the auspicious occasion of Saga Dawa, observed on Sunday, June 22, 2025.
In a truly commendable act of generosity, the monetary offerings collected from the public and presented to Venerable Khenpo were entirely donated to TSA, as he respectfully declined to keep any portion for himself. This selfless gesture reflects the highest form of Dharmadana.
The Society is deeply thankful for his spiritual guidance, meaningful teachings, and wholehearted support. His contribution not only strengthens the foundation of TCBC but also serves as a profound inspiration for the entire community..
