Saga Dawa is called the “month of merits” for Tibetan Buddhists. Dawa means “month” in Tibetan and “Saga” is the name of a star prominent in the sky during the fourth lunar month of the Tibetan calendar when Saga Dawa is observed. Saga Dawa usually begins in May and ends in June. The Saga Dawa Festival celebrates the birth, parinirvana (death) and enlightenment of Buddha and it is believed that all positive and negative actions are multiplied as a result. For Tibetan Buddhists, the month of Saga Dawa is the most auspicious time for meritorious actions which includes pilgrimages to sacred places and the most auspicious place is the holy Mt. Kailash.
