A Shivlingam made of snow was worshipped to appease the nature for a good harvest. Traditional sports such as Popun jagdang, shashin and gompathang namlangs were held in Keylong.

Tseshu Lachang was celebrated in the Tod valley and traditional archery events were held in various villages. A cultural programme was organised at Kayato village in Losar panchayat in the Spiti valley where handwritten Buddhist texts were exhibited.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
