Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
Bhutanese Window Treatments

Window and doors in Bhutan are generally designed and painted very ornately and stand in stark contrast to the usual whitewash walls, creating beautiful effects. The same is true inside dzongs.


This is one of the most elaborate set of multi-colored windows I saw in Bhutan, or anywhere else for that matter!

Of course, these windows do not have glass and it can be quite drafty in these monasteries.



This pic depicts a more elaborate extension of the standard style of window found on many buildings in Bhutan.
