Bhutanese Tshechu and is audience

I visited Bhutan in 2013, is said to be the happiest country in the world and is colourful festival confirm it.

I stayed ten days and I visited some parts of the country. I was particularly impressed by the people during the perform of the Tshechu, the colourful and calm crowd, the dancing masks are things that in our latitude are rare to see.

I saw two Tshechu performance, the first one in Haa a small village in a valley that was simple but with the same plot as the second Tshechu performance in Thimphu, the capital city that was more spectacular.

I enjoyed taking this series of photos some before and some during the festivals.
