Abstract
My paper presented at the 14th Seminar of the International Association for Tibetan Studies (IATS) organized in Bergen, 19th-24th June 2016, within the panel 'Sacred Landscapes in Tibet and the Himalayas', focused on one of the most sacred mountains of Tibet, Amnye Machen (A mnyes rma chen, Golog Prefecture, Qinghai Province, PRC), and the contemporary changes the holy site undergoes in the state planned modernisation and development of tourism. I particularly focused on the recent big pilgrimage, performed once in twelve years, in the Horse year of Tibetan calendar.
I based my research on long term fieldwork and textual analysis.
