A proud Bhutanese

It was one of the brightest days I ever remember. With colours in the wind and delight in the air, November was at its best. It was Coronation Day! Our new King was here.

Rejoicing as much as anyone in the country, I was one of those proud Bhutanese.

Young, yet so reassuring, the country saw continuity of hope, and a bright future. Since then, we relish in happy and fulfilling times, as you hold us in your compassionate embrace and look upon us with such love and care.

On behalf of the humble citizens of Bhutan, I bow to you in gratitude. Thank you, Your Majesty. For everything we are today, as a nation, as a proud Bhutanese.

Our government completes one year in another six days. We seize this moment to offer our deepest gratitude to Your Majesty for the blessing and guidance with which we could serve with sincerity and confidence.

Reflecting on the moments from 11 years ago, and every passing day in between, we draw inspiration to work harder and contribute to the nation.

And for today and years to come, we say our heartfelt prayers for Your Majesty’s good health and for the peace and harmony of our country. Tashi Delek la.

Coinciding with His Royal Highness The Gyalsey's first birthday, His Majesty The King installed the Sertog on the Drukgyal Dzong’s Utse early this morning. The reconstruction project for the Drukgyal Dzong was announced last year to commemorate the Royal Birth.

HIs Majesty granted Tokha to the personnel working at the Dzong construction site. Lunch was also granted to all the personnel involved in the construction and reconstruction works of dzongs, lhakhangs, and other religious structures across the country.

His Majesty The King, His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, and Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen, with His Royal Highness The Gyalsey, offered prayers before the Zhabdrung Ku at the Simtokha Dzong.

During the prayer ceremony held at the Dzong, representatives from the government, central monk body, armed forces, and the people, offered Phuelcha to commemorate the first Birth Anniversary of His Royal Highness The Gyalsey.

The Agriculture Minister made a symbolic offering of traditional Soelbam herd consisting of cattle, Bhutanese mastiffs and horses complete with tack, to His Royal Highness The Gyalsey on behalf of the people.

As a special national initiative to commemorate HRH Gyalsey's first birthday, and for the accumulation of karmic merit to benefit all sentient beings, over a hundred thousand lives of fish, yaks, cattle, birds, and goats were spared (tsethar) and the animals released from captivity in various dzongkhags in Bhutan and in Bangladesh and India. Special prayers (Tshethar moenlam) and the lighting of butter lamps were also carried out.

Buddhist centres in Tawang, Thailand, Myanmar, Srilanka, Bodhgaya, Mysore, Dehradun, Lhasa, Nepal, and Mongolia came together to offer prayers, and organized kurims and lit butterlamps at the different locations to mark the occasion, with prayers for world peace.

Meanwhile various institutions and individuals across the country initiated celebrations and prayers to commemorate HRH Gyalsey’s birthday. Various groups organized blood donation drives, and cleaning campaigns, and school students pledged to read more, among other similar activities.

People from Bhutan and around the world offered an overwhelming outpouring of wishes and messages on various platforms online, and major international media agencies covered the occasion.

The Thimphu Tashichhodzong is a splendid example that illustrates the charms of traditional Bhutanese architecture, defined by intricate artwork and a sophisticated palette. The structures adhere to such high standards that even hidden corners are as beautiful as those that are visible to the eye.

This 360 image is of the first courtyard of the Dzong, which is enclosed by the Grand Kuenrey– the gorgeous congregation hall, as well as the offices of the central monk body, entrances, the central tower, goenkhang, and Lhakhang Saarp (new temple).

The Tashichhodzong was rebuilt by His Majesty Drukgyal Sumpa in 1968, after it had been damaged by a fire. The Dzong has since served as the seat of the government, and today houses the Golden Throne Room, government offices, quarters of the Central Monk Body, and a total of thirty temples, chapels, and shrines.
