Tibet has a large number of Tibetan monks and most of its people are followers of Tibetan Buddhism. Tibetan monks or lamas play a major role in the lives of the Tibetan people, conducting religious ceremonies and taking care of the monasteries. Tibet has the largest number of monks in the world with almost 1/3 of the population being a monk. Tibetan monks are considered to be the ultimate followers of Tibetan Buddhism. Therefore, the costumes of Tibetan monks are also a significant part of Tibetan culture.
In Tibet, red is the color of the sacred realm. While all shades have their place in temples and monasteries, burgundy belongs to the ordained monks or nuns, of whom there are thousands spread over the whole plateau

2. BURGUNDY RED SKIRT: THE SHAMTHAP
This lower robe is sewn to look like a patched-up cloth, a deterrent from possible attachment to an object of value, such as a piece of quality cloth. In the past, the shamthap was sewn up from many pieces while today it is merely made to look patched.
The Gelugpa tradition dictates that the shamthap be draped with the fold on the right side turning towards the back, symbolizing a monk or nun's renouncement of worldly life and negative actions. The folds on the left turn towards the front, meaning their commitment to the Buddhist path and the virtuous activities that will contribute to accumulating merit.
