The Palace of Remarkable Bliss

The most significant religious celebration in Bhutan is called Tshechu, or the Mask Dancing Festival. It is celebrated yearly at Bhutan's monasteries and dzongs to remember Guru Rinpoche, also known as the "Lotus-Born Teacher," who introduced Tantric Buddhism to Bhutan in the eighth century. Tshechu is a time for community interaction, entertainment, blessings, and atonement for sins for the people. For us, it's a wonderful chance to observe the distinctive, vibrant, and fascinating displays of Bhutanese traditional culture.
 

The mask dances performed in the Dzongs are essential for bringing people together and educating them about their home, culture, and history. Moreover, mask dances convey spiritual messages to audiences. They are said to invoke their gods while performing in order to protect themselves from dangers and bad luck.
