Read carefully the passages given below and answer the questions that follow.
The hotel functions as a cultural centre and we were taken to a horse race in an alpine Khampa village. With us was a Swiss Tibetan who took us to visit a handsome house of mud, stone and colorful lintels. We entered a courtyard full of full of slush and yak manure and climbed the wooden stairs to the cavernous rooms upstairs. Mao’s visage on the obligatory calendar smiled down on us through the smoke as we sat sipping yak butter tea around a huge stove, but pictures of Dalai Lama are also seen placed discreetly behind other objects. The Sumetseleng is now being rebuilt and can have upto 800 monks. Many of them have returned from India. Out of nostalgia perhaps they encouraged the jade shop outside to play loud Hindi music.
