Bhutan is the last
Mahayana Buddhist Kingdom, and the
teachings of this school of Buddhism are
a living faith among its people.
Spirituality exists even in the urban
centers where the spinning of prayer
wheels, the murmur of mantras and the
glow of butter lamps in the houses are
still important features of their every
day life.
Bhutan's unique architecture is one of
the most striking physical features; the
colour of house and buildings is a
distinct source of aesthetic pleasure.
The Dzongs, which are 300 to 400 hundred
years old, are built on a scale without
the help of any drawings and hammering a
single nail.
Paintings are another aspects of
Bhutan's culture and they depict the
spiritual depth of Bhutanese life.
Bhutan also boasts an unparalleled
wealth in its cottage industry. Its fine
handicrafts of wood and bamboo, ornaments
of gold and silver and highly developed
weaving skills represent an advanced art
form. Various cultural trips into Bhutan
introduce visitors to the unique aspects
of Bhutanese culture, including sacred
masked dance festivals and pilgrimage
sites.
Place of Tourist Interest
The more I see of the Bhutanese, the
more I am pleased with them. The common
people are good-humored, down right and
I think, thoroughly trusty. The statesman
have some of the art which belongs to
their profession. They are the best
built race of men I ever saw."
