 FESTIVALS IN BHUTAN
The Bhutanese are deeply religious people followers of Mahayana
Buddhism. Their belief is woven intricately seven into their
daily lives - in the way they live, work, worship and celebrate.
But the Tsechu festivals is perhaps the most elaborate and
colorful expression of their deep-seated faith in the ideals of
dharma. The festival is also an opportunity for those visiting
Bhutan to get a rare glimpse into the mystical and rich
traditions of the Bhutanese people.
