The Bhutanese Leading the way.
His Majesty The King and Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen celebrated Dashain with the Hindu community at the Devi Panchayan Mandir in Thimphu on 21 October 2026.
Their Majesties offered prayers at the Mandir, and granted Dashain Tika to the people.
Dashain is celebrated in Bhutan with families gathering to receive blessings and tika from elders. The festival commemorates the victory of the Dharma King Rama, as told in the epic Ramayana.
The coming together of Their Majesties and the people to celebrate Dashain carries profound meaning, reflecting the deep ties between the Monarch and the people of Bhutan as a single family.
