THE KINGDOM OF BHUTAN
a Buddhist country
 

Central Bhutan - Trongsa Town, and the Trongsa Dzong Blessing Ceremony
 
In the town, typically ground floor shops with apartments above - all with traditional decorations
 

The setting of the large Trongsa Dzong, with the town immediately behind
 

Overlooking the Trongsa Dzong up the hill is the Dzong Watchtower

While making our way to the blessing points our guide explains many of the Buddhist paintings to us,
while local boys watch with interest (on their way out after blessing)
 

 

 
 

Everybody turns the prayer wheels
