Zhabdrung Kuchoe

Zhabdrung Kuchoe, observed on the 10th day of the third Bhutanese month every year marks the day when Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal entered into parinirvana at the Punakha Dzong in 1651. Bhutan commemorates this day to pay homage to Zhabdrung as the leader who brought unity to the country. We join the nation in commemorating this day with prayers for peace and prosperity of the country and flourishing of its spiritual roots.
