Fairy's Day is known as the "Women's Festival" in modern Tibet. On this day, girls and women dress up, go on a pilgrimage to temples, present Khada, a traditional ceremonial scarf, to their respected angels, treat themselves to shopping, have magnificent food, and ask for money from men to donate to the fairies.
Fairy's Day falls on the fifteenth day of the tenth month of the Tibetan calendar. On this Day, Tibetans also commemorate Buddha Aleanterre Brahm.
