Day 04 | Ladakh | White Wednesday in Ladakh: Dancing for Tibet | Stories of Tibetans
Every Wednesday in Choglamsar, a Tibetan settlement in Leh, Ladakh, something beautiful and powerful happens—Gorshey, the Tibetan circle dance, takes over the space with rhythm, unity, and resistance.
I had the chance to witness it myself, and it truly moved me. The energy, the pride, the colors—everything, down to a simple cap, carried deep Tibetan identity.
This weekly gathering isn’t just cultural—it’s political. It’s part of the White Wednesday Movement, a peaceful act of resistance against China’s cultural genocide in Tibet. Wednesdays were chosen because it’s the soul day of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.
Every Wednesday, Tibetans here:
Perform Gorshey
Speak in Tibetan
Visit temples
Embrace and express their cultural roots
This is Tibetan resilience in motion. So if you're ever in Ladakh on a Wednesday—don’t miss it.
