Lhamoi Dromchhen

Lhamoi Dromchoe (or Lhamoi Drubchen) is a significant sacred festival in Bhutan, especially in Thimphu, dedicated to Palden Lhamo, the nation’s protective deity, featuring mesmerizing mask dances (cham) to ward off misfortune, rooted in a 17th-century vision by Je Kuenga Gyeltshen, symbolizing deep devotion, cultural richness, and blessings for prosperity, often leading into the larger Thimphu Tsechu.
