Ling Gesar Gyalpo is the longest epic in the world. It is popular in Tibet, all the Himalayan region where Buddhism is practiced. Even in Mongolia, it is popular. Gesar is popular poem written in the vernacular language unlike Buddhist scripture are written in scholarly/academic style. I wish there is Tibetan version of the video.

Isn't is spell as GESAR. In Tibetan we call him གེ་སར་ GESAR not Kesar. I don't know ladhaki but if listen carefully there's some similarity. What I'm surprised is Ling Gesar Gyalpo is even known in Ladhak.

Question: Why ladakhi people use to sing yali or Ali khyong lamo lay when our people working on field or working at any place?

[@sonamgurmetkasa7880]

Aba Morup Namgyal said that music helps people work efficiently. It was then in fields of ancient Ladakh, people use to sing 'Yali Lamo'. Check the interview video with him to hear the answer yourself.
