The Epic of King Gesar, also spelled Kesar or Geser, is a traditional epic originating from Tibet and Central Asia. Folk balladeers continued to transmit the story orally, enriching its plot and embellished its language over time. The narrative reached its "final" form and peak popularity in the early 12th century.
