Not only was the trip rescheduled but the Dalai Lama also had to change his conveyance options. While he was supposed to leave from Guwahati by a chopper, due to inclement weather he is now being forced to travel by road. Not only this, he will also stop at Bomdila making a public appearance tomorrow.
He is expected to stay there for two days and thereafter, he will go to Tawang.
These weather conditions are attributed to the presence of a trough which is running East Uttar Pradesh up to Nagaland across Bihar and West Bengal. Prior to this, a cyclonic circulation was also persisting over Northeast India giving rains over the region.
As per the Dalai Lama’s website, he will consecrate a new Tara temple. His stay is at Tawang during this time. On April 10, the Dalai Lama will give his teachings at Dirang and at Bomdila on April 11. Thereafter, he will leave for Itanagar winding up his trip on April 12.
After eight years, The Dalai Lama is paying a visit to the northeastern state of Arunachal Pradesh.
