Explanation:

- Option 1: Losar

- Losar is the Tibetan New Year festival, celebrated with various cultural customs and rituals but is not primarily an opera festival.

- Option 2: Shoton/Shotou

- Correct Answer

- The Shoton Festival, also known as the Yogurt Festival, originally began as a religious occasion where residents served yogurt to monks finishing meditation. It evolved into a significant cultural event featuring Tibetan opera performances. It was a major festival in Lhasa and continues to be celebrated by TIPA annually in McLeod Ganj, preserving Tibet's operatic traditions.

- Option 3: Thanka

- Thanka, or Thangka, refers to a traditional Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton or silk, usually depicting a deity, scene, or mandala. It is not an opera festival.

- Option 4: Dajyur

- Dajyur is related to Tibetan sports, particularly horse racing, rather than an opera festival.
