Tsechus, a mask dance festivals, are one of the most colorful festivals in Bhutan. During the tsechus, Thongdrol, large scroll paintings of deities and saints which have the power to liberate people from sin that they had committed just by seeing it are unfurled for public. The word throngdel means liberation on sight and people form long queues to receive blessings by touching their heads against the bottom of the thangkha. Video by Bhutan Excursion www.bhutantour.bt

June 2005 In a world where despots cling to power by any means, Bhutan's much loved King is voluntarily relinquishing control. It's part of a plan to engage with the wider world. This tiny mountain kingdom is one of the least undisturbed places on earth. Here, emphasis is placed on 'Gross National Happiness', and schools teach children to live in harmony. "We are an independent kingdom with a very strong policy that preserves our environment," explains author Tshewang Dhendup. The king is widely revered across the country. "He's a very humble man," explains one friend. "No Swiss bank accounts, no Lear jets. Lives in a log cabin." His subjects are still coming to terms with his decision to share power. In recent years, Bhutan has started reaching beyond the mountains. But nothing is allowed to endanger its unique culture Produced by ABC Australia Distributed by Journeyman Pictures

A beautiful area with Swiss-like landscape and pretty venacular architecture in western Bhutan. Look out the penis painting on the first house in the video - these are symbols to ward off evil.

Learn More: ccpvideos.com The painting process is littered with small, personal choices that can make or break your composition. Ned Mueller's patient, practical approach to oil helps you navigate the tough decisions that make a painting work. In this DVD workshop, you'll break up boring shapes with subtle value shifts and mix interesting gray tones instead of getting mired in those same gray areas. Mueller combines five photos from Bhutan to compose an ideal figurescape scene. Sketching from a quarter-size study, he adjusts his composition for the scale and lighting of the final piece. Mueller emphasizes variety, constantly shifting color and value to avoid monotony. Close-up views of his palette and detailed captions keep you in tune with his mixes throughout the workshop. Mueller steps back regularly to analyze his progress and share wisdom from his decades-long artistic career.

tripwow.tripadvisor.com The best pictures of Mongar taken by travel bloggers at TravelPod.com the web's premier travel blogging platform. Slideshow created at TripWow.com by TripAdvisor™. Top Pics of Mongar - "Monks walking after prayers" by Dunnsage from a blog titled "Trongsa Dzong and journey to Bumthang valley" Excerpt: "The journey from Wangdue to the Bumthang valley was long and windy taking about 7 hours. Tcheko's driving was very safe but quite slow in our comfortable minivan. Bhutan is 70% covered by forest and the houses became more spread out as we ventured east. The people too are a little different and more traditional. We visited another Dzong at Trongsa, again really atmospheric. You are not allowed to take any photos inside which is a shame (though understandable) as they are decorated so beautifully. The temples are different to those we saw in Tibet, which are much darker and full of pilgrims making offerings. In Bhutan there are fewer people but they are in much better condition and the paintings and statues are really colourful. We often discussed the similarities and differences with Tibet with Phub who educated us really well on Buddhism, though it remains really complex to us as there are so many images of the same deities. At least some of it makes sense now though. Phub also proved" ... - "More dancing at the festival" by Dunnsage from a blog titled "Jakar Festival" Excerpt: "The festival, not one of the more famous main religious ones but ...

Tibet is a relatively little known and mysterious land of snow high up in the Himalayas that borders Nepal, Bhutan and India. It is protected by the highest mountains in the world and is a region that has developed a unique society whose philosophy, art and religious faith have earned much interest and respect. Lhasa is the capital of Tibet and also its largest city. The Barkhor Road extends for 800 meters around the Jokhang Temple and nearby Tsuklakhang Square. For the faithful, a visit to the Jokhang Temple is the highlight of a long and arduous pilgrimage. The Dalai Lama once sat in its inner courtyard during the monks' annual final examination, which was also a splendid festive event. On the other side of the Chokpori, a small mountain opposite Potala, is the seldom visited Sang Gya Thong Ku Temple that is somewhat hidden away and therefore, off the tourist trail. This 'Temple of a Thousand Images of God' is nevertheless very popular among devout Buddhists and is a place of silent prayer. The Yarlung Valley is full of history, such as possessing the oldest field in Tibet along with the oldest village that is located at the foot of the country's oldest fortress, Yumbu Lhakhang, the rock palace of the country's first mystic king. One of the largest monuments in Tibetan architecture is the unique Kumbum Chörten, a three-dimensional mandala that can be entered. Eyes decorate the upper part of the Stupa. The ritual walkabout begins on the lowest level with simple deities ...
