Bhutan History
Festivals in Bhutan
Each village, community and district celebrate the Tshechu in their various style and fashion – however the main theme is same everywhere with slight variations depending upon the ethnic background, tradition and local myths. The festivals revolve around well choreographed masked dances based mostly on incidents from the life of Guru Rinpoche or Padmasambhava, the saint who introduced Buddhism to Bhutan in the eight century. Witnessing the masked dances is very spiritual and most importantly one is cleansed of all sins and bestowed with blessings and good wishes.
Brief History of Bhutan
The tiny Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is located in the mighty Himalayas, between two giant countries of India in the south and China in the North. Bhutan’s rich history can be traced back to the 7th and 8th Century when Guru Padmasambhava visited Bhutan and introduced Mahayana Buddhism.
