The Paro Tsechu in Bhutan
The Paro Tsechu Festival is one of the biggest event in Bhutan. Like other Tsechus, it is held to honor Guru Rinpoche, who spread the tantric Buddhism, that practiced all over Himalayas (often called as Tibetan Buddhism).
The first dayof the festival is held inside the cord yard of the Dzong and on the final day (before dawn) the second biggest gaint Thanka, in Bhutan called Thongdol, an silk allique of Guru Rinpoche is displayed.

Ja,ich glaube das muss man erlebt haben, um es zu verstehen.
Wie schön für uns, das man Dias einscannen kann.
So bleiben diese Erinnerungen wach.
