Festivals in Bhutan, known as Tsechus, are vibrant celebrations that reflect the country’s deep-rooted Buddhist culture. These religious events are held annually in various dzongs (fortresses) and monasteries, commemorating the teachings of Guru Rinpoche, who introduced Buddhism to Bhutan. The festivals are marked by colorful masked dances, elaborate rituals, and traditional music, with monks and laypeople alike participating in the spiritual performances. Locals dress in their finest traditional attire, making it a communal event of prayer, joy, and social bonding. Festivals like the Paro Tsechu and Thimphu Tsechu attract both locals and visitors, offering a unique glimpse into Bhutan's spiritual life.
