Thimphu Tshechu Photo

Photographer’s Note

The most important of all Bhutanese Tshechus (festivals) is the one held in October, in Thimpu, the capital, and on the grounds of the famous Tashiko Dzong(Monastery) This is a religious festival lasting many days and is celebrated in the honor of Guru Rinpoche. On this occasion many dances and other rituals are performed. Dzongs are otherwise closed to visitors. I was amazed to see how happy and cheerful the monks were when watching the shows. This picture was taken a few minutes before the festival opened.

The band of colours are eyecatching and add instant impact to this image. The composition is excellent.
