Crowds gather for Dalai Lama visit
Updated on 07 November 2009
Thousands of devout Buddhists poured into a remote Indian mountain town, arriving in packed trucks or on foot after trekking for miles along narrow paths for a rare chance to glimpse the Dalai Lama.
The Tibetan spiritual leader's week-long visit to the town of Tawang near the Chinese border, has been mired in a diplomatic squabble -- highlighting the growing friction between Beijing and New Delhi.
The neighbours have been embroiled in a border dispute over the north-eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh since 1962, and China has decried the visit and demanded that India stop it.
