Dzongs
Each district has a dzong that is both the local government headquarters and a monastery. The dzongs are often dramatically located in scenic locations, on cliffsides and river confluences. The monasteries have temples dedicated to different Buddhist deities.

 
 
 
 
 
Throughout many months of the year are festivals held at the local dzong. The significant events in Buddhist history are re-enacted through music and dance. The locals believe one gains merit by attending their yearly festival. The event is also a main social gathering where the locals are dressed in their best textiles. Please visit the festivals page to see a festival schedule for the upcoming year.
