Bhutan has a unique culture and tradition that is reflected in the every aspect of Bhutanese lives. Zealously preserved through the centuries, the rich culture springs from the tenets of Mahayana Buddhism. It is vibrant and living and can be seen and experienced all over the kingdom. Architecture is also a significant feature of the Bhutanese identity, manifest in unique shapes, colours and patterns.

Festivals, music and dance, both by the clergy and the lay population, play an important role in national, village, or domestic functions. The distinct technique, colour and style of indigenous Bhutanese weaving and handicraft place Bhutanese textile in a class of its own.
