Abstract
This research paper explores the psychological significance of food memories among Tibetan refugees, with a focus on their experiences in Majnu Ka Tilla, Delhi. Through qualitative observation and interviews conducted in the vibrant Tibetan settlement, the study examines how food serves as a vehicle for preserving cultural identity, fostering a sense of belonging, and promoting healing among refugees. Traditional Tibetan dishes are analysed as symbols of resilience and continuity in the face of displacement and trauma. The paper also delves into the role of festivals and rituals in reinforcing cultural bonds and providing emotional support for the community. By exploring the intersections of food, culture, and psychology, this research highlights the importance of addressing the psychological needs of Tibetan refugees and promoting holistic approaches to healing and integration.
