The three-day annual Trashi Yangtse tshechu concluded today with the unfurling of Guru Tshengye thongdroel.
Thousands of people gathered at the courtyard of the dzong to witness the dzongkhag’s biggest festival. The monks and the dzongkhag mask dancers performed various mask dances during the three-day tshechu.
The tshechu has been held at the courtyard of the new Trashi Yangtse Dzong since 2014. Before that, the festival was held in Dongdey Dzong, which used to be the old Trashi Yangtse Dzong. The Tshechu was instituted by Trashi Yangtse Rabdey in 2000.
