The festival that celebrates the arrival of spring in Bhutan is called Paro Tsechu. This vibrant event features traditional mask dances, performed by monks and lay performers, which symbolize the triumph of good over evil. Observers engage in prayers, gather around the dzong (fortress), and share community festivities while wearing traditional attire. The highlight of the festival is the unveiling of the thangka, a large religious banner. This celebration fosters a sense of cultural identity and promotes the importance of Buddhist teachings in Bhutanese society.
