The Thimphu Tshechu is one of the most famous and widely celebrated festivals in Bhutan. Tshechus are annual religious festivals held in various districts of Bhutan, and the Thimphu Tshechus is specifically held in the capital city, Thimphu. The festival typically takes place over several days, with the dates varying from year to year based on the Bhutanese lunar calendar, but it often falls in the autumn season. The Thimphu Tshechu is a colourful and vibrant event that brings together both locals and tourists to witness a series of religious mask dances, traditional Bhutanese folk dances, and various cultural performances. These mask dances are performed by monks and are intended to convey moral lessons and stories from Buddhist mythology.
