Land of the Thunder Dragon

A House Puja in Phobjekha Valley

We came across a local house near the Gante Temple in Phobjekha Valley where a house puja in progress.  We asked if we could have a look

and the result are these amazing photos and the video.  Most Bhutanese households have elaborate family chapel rooms like these. 

They do spend an amazing lot of money for the carvings and icons.  Religion is everything in this country.
