Festivals of Bhutan are typically known as Tshechu (meaning 10th day) and they are celebrated with great fervor across the many monasteries, dzongs and temples marking the Dragon Kingdom.

The tenth day of the lunar calendar has a special significance for the Bhutanese as they consider this date to be particularly auspicious. They whole heartedly believe that every human being should witness the Tshechu and the masked dances to wash away all past sins.

Each Tshechu has an array of dances that relate to folklore and religious stories (mostly originating in the 8th century or the life of Guru Padmasambhava).

The festivals in Paro and Thimphu are the most popular as they happen in the Western part of Bhutan and both cities are an hour’s drive away from the airport

Thimphu Tshechu (Festivals) (10th day of the 8th month of the lunar year)

The capital city of Bhutan hosts its most popular festival Thimphu Tshechu which draws in people from across the world. The festival began in 1867 and since then many forms of dance like 21 black hats dance, Zhana Chham, Tungam Chham (dance of angry dieties) and Durdag (dance of the cremation Ground) are performed in this festival. The Alsaras who are a cross between jesters and spiritual gurus also engage in a dance which is supposed to drive away evil forces.

Just 3 days before the Thimphu Tshechu, a smaller festival named Thimphu Dromchoe is celebrated. Holy dances dedicated towards the governing deity Palden Lhamo are practiced here.
