Haa all set to host 110th National Day

  Haa Dzongkhag is now all prepared to host 110th National Day tomorrow.  The National Day will be held at Lhakhang Karpo. This is the first time that the dzongkhag will be hosting the National Day.

Lhakhag Karpo built in the 17th century; a seat of Ap Chundu, Haa’s guardian deity is festooned and draped with colorful fabrics.  A festive mood for National Day celebration surrounds Lhakhang Karpo. Haa has been preparing for the nation’s most significant day for two months.

“As soon as His Majesty the King declared to celebrate 110th national Day in Haa, we started preparing for it. It has been 2 months since the preparation started and as of yesterday everything is complete. And if you look behind me, we are doing the final rehearsal for the day,” said Haa Dzongdag, Kinzang Dorji.

The courtyard in front of the Lhakhang is arranged to accommodate around 4,000 people. According to Dzongdag, another 4000 people will be seated by the two different sides of the Lhakhang and a Live will be broadcasted with projectors.  The programs are said to be Haa’s authentic Cultures.

“The programs here are all unique and different from the other dzongkhags. All the performances are traditional practices and dances performed by the people of Haa for ages. For instance, Haap’s Auesa, Lolay and Chundu’s Gongzhey, and a rigser will be performed by the senior citizens here,” added the Haa Dzongdag. “And along with the Tokha by His Majesty The king, we will be celebrating Lombha which coincides with National Day.”

Lhakhang Karpo will be consecrated on the National Day tomorrow. His Majesty The King, His Majesty the Fourth King, and Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen will grace the National Day celebration.
