Festival expert and Historian
Punkha Tshechu, like all Tshechus, honors Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, the greatest yogi, and saint who is attributed with having introduced Tantric Buddhist all over the Himalayas.
Punakha Tshechu is held right after the Punakha Drubchen. The Drubchen is extraordinary as it seeks to re-enact the Tibetan invasion of Bhutan to steal its most precious relic. (RangjungKharsapani)
Punakha Tshechu is one of the best ways to experience the ancient living culture of Bhutan and it preserves Buddhist teachings and keeps alive the noble deeds of Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, another great saint who brought unity and stability to Bhutan.
Punakha Tshechu, like all the Tshechu festivals celebrated in Bhutan is in honor of Padmasambhava
