The Purjang of late Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji was held today on the 5th day of the eighth Bhutanese month, at Wolakha, in Punakha.

The Purjang was attended by His Majesty The King, His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, and the entire Royal Family. Representatives of the government, members of Parliament, dignitaries from the international community, as well as thousands of people whose lives have been touched by late Yab were present to offer their respects. The prayers for the last rites was presided over by His Holiness the Je Khenpo, and conducted by the Zhung Dratshang.

Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji passed away peacefully on May 12 this year. Thousands of Bhutanese offered their respects while the Kudrung lay in repose at Wolakha.

Yab Dasho Ugyen Dorji is the maternal grandfather of His Majesty The King. Known as a pioneering entrepreneur and great religious patron, Yab sponsored the construction and renovation of many religious structures across Bhutan throughout his lifetime, including the nunnery in Wolakha. He was conferred the Red Scarf by His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo in 1991.
