Tibet's revered spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, marks his 74th birthday Monday.
Thousands of Tibetans living in India and Nepal have come to Dharamsala in India's north, the Dalai Lama's home in exile, to celebrate the occasion.
Six Australian parliamentarians will be among the guests at the birthday festivities. China has protested the Australians' recent meetings with the Dalai Lama as a gross case of interference in China's internal affairs.
