Holidays and Festivals around the World
November 2020

The Kingdom of Bhutan is a colorful bright country with a strong native culture. 

One of the main parts of their native culture is the Tshechus. Tshechu is a religious festival held in temples, monasteries, and dzongs around the county. It is celebrated on the tenth day of the month. 

According to the Tourism Council of Bhutan, a key element of the celebrations are the religious mask, dances, and other forms of entertainment. It is believed that everyone must attend a Tshechu and watch the mask dances to receive blessings and get rid of their sins. The masks and dances tell stories from history. People wear their finest clothing and pack lunch to travel to watch these performances. They honor Guru Rimpoche, a deity of the area. 

The Mongar Tshechu is held every November. It is a three day celebration held in the eastern Bhutan area, called “Bastion of the Zhongarps' ' which played a role in the history of the country. Tshanglas and the Kurtoeps are the main groups in Mongar, famous for wood cravings. 

There are Tshechu celebrations and traditions vary throughout the region. Locals from Trashigang and Lhuentse districts travel for the Mongar Tshechus. 

There are many Tshechu celebrations across the Kingdom of Bhutan, showcasing the local culture.

"We were able to become closer with the local culture on her trips such as traveling to a Swaziland orphanage, where we created a Christmas party luncheon and brought toys and games for kids, and taught the hokey pokey."

"You can tell that a lot of effort goes into every detail of the trip. You don't have to think about anything. Robin takes care of the things you don't even think of. Plus Robin has a photographic memory and connects everyone. She knows who has met whom on what trip and continues to remember. It's because of her that I believe that I have met some of my closest friends."
