Phil's All Embracing Bhutan Slide Show
The Punakha Festival



For the latter half of the festival ceremonies, the general population was waiting on the grounds of the Punakha Dzong. Here are a group of women wearing their Sunday best kiras for the occasion.


The ceremony involves every warrior doing a slow, rythmic dance explaining the details of the battle with the Tibetans. Here a warrior does his dance going down the steps of the large Dzong.
