Dharamsala, Oct 20 (PTI) The Dalai Lama, who underwent a gall bladder surgery at a Delhi hospital earlier this month, today returned to his home at Macleodganj as hundreds of people lined up along the roads to receive Tibetan spiritual leader.
"The Dalai Lama returned to his house at Macleodganj this evening," his spokesman here Tenzin Takhla told PTI.

He said the Dalai has "fully recovered from his illness" and would start his daily routine of prayers and meeting disciples from tomorrow.

Takhla said hundreds of exiled Tibetans and locals lined up along the road from Dharamsala to Macleodganj to receive the monk.

The Dalai is scheduled to make a trip to Japan by the end of this month.
