The great Dromche – a spectacular historical Ceremony

Punakha Dromchoe is a remarkable recreation of the scenes from the combat with the Tibetan army in the 17th century. The “pazaps,” or members of the local militia, dressed in historical combat attire act out an ancient war scene. This act of re-enactment recalls a time when men from Thimphu and Punakha’s eight Tshogchens, or major village blocks, came forward in the absence of a standing army and succeeded in driving away the invaders from the nation. Their triumph ushered in a time of newly discovered internal tranquillity and stability. Following the event, a relic is shown or immersed in the Mochhu in front of a huge gathering of festival attendees.
