Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon

These are from the DC Folklife Festival which honored the Bhutan culture. Bhutan is the last bastion of Vajrayana Buddhism, a spiritual practice that is known to be one of the most profound schools of teaching in the Buddhist world. I was able to enter their temple and witness prayer and intricate exquisite detail on all walls and ceilings. The food was a dance for the mouth and the people held a stoic presence.
