Almost every village in Lhuntse boasts of festivals that are unique and distinct from those in other communities in Bhutan. Two notable festivals are the Cha and the Ha festivals. They are celebrated to honor the deities and avert misfortunes. However, the most important festival is the annual three-day festival.
The Tshechu is normally celebrated in the month of November and draws large numbers of people together for religious celebrations. During the Tshechu, attendees can cleanse their sins by watching masked dances and can receive blessings from sacred relics that are publicly displayed.
One of the most interesting and visually appealing aspects of these Tshechu is the colorful attire of Kushuthara which Lhuentse is famous for. You will come across various intricate and beautiful patterns of Kira and rich ornaments on display.
Despite the cold, hundreds of residents from nearly every village in Lhuentse gathered in the courtyard to watch the tshechu.
