Bhutan, often called the "Land of the Thunder Dragon," is a country steeped in rich traditions, where religion and culture intertwine beautifully. One of the most colorful and spiritually significant aspects of Bhutanese culture is the Tsechu – a grand festival celebrated in honor of the teachings of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava) and various deities of the Buddhist pantheon. These vibrant festivals, filled with mask dances, sacred rituals, and community celebrations, offer a window into the heart and soul of Bhutanese culture.
