Description
Draped in traditional maroon and yellow robes, the Dalai Lama tastes a piece of an elaborately-decorated Tibetan style birthday cake as he attends prayer celebrations for his 90th birthday.
Thousands of Buddhist followers and well-wishers from across the world, including the American actor Richard Gere, attend the event in McLeod Ganj, India.
The Tibetan spiritual leader, whose birthday is on July 6, has lived in exile for decades since Chinese troops crushed an uprising in the Tibetan capital Lhasa in 1959. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
