Domkhar Festival – honouring the guru who brought Buddhism to Bhutan

The annual Domkhar Festival will be held from 28th to 30th of April 2015 at village temples across the country. The festival which is also known as Tshechu is a religious event celebrated all over the villages of Bhutan. It contains sacred masked dances such as the three kinds of Ging and Black Hat Dance.

If you are making travel plans to Bhutan and are seeking for a place to stay you could consider opting for a renowned accommodation provider in the region such as COMO Shambhala, a property that is part of the COMO Hotel chain. The devotees and tourists who attend the festival could witness masked dances as well as the highlight of the festival the Thongdrel of the future “Buddha Maitreya” that people use to be blessed.
