Bhutan culture

Bhutan culture people food and festivals

Religious beliefs are evidenced in all aspects of life. Prayer flags flutter on hillsides, offering up prayers to benefit all nearby sentient beings.


The deliberate act of keeping cultural heritage from the present for the future is known as preservation (American English) or conservation (British English), though these terms may have more specific or technical meaning in the same contexts in the other dialect.

The majority (about 75%) of Bhutanese are Buddhists, followers of the Kagyu Drukpa sub-sect of the Kagyu sect of Mahayana Buddhism which is the official religion of the nation. Thus Bhutan is the only nation in which the Tantric (mystical, apocalyptic) form ofBuddhism is the state religion.
