Coronation ceremony

1 Jan 1970

Tashichoodzong filled with many people during the coronation of the fourth King Jigme Singye Wangchuck on 2nd June 1947. Many traditional soldiers wearing the traditional dress with chambop (metal head gear) and dali hanging on their back and in-front of them we can see the Pazzap"s wearing blue gho with read and white band across their shoulders and green head band. In the back ground we can see hundreds of people watching mask dance. Some flags and part of Guru Thongdrol on the right. Behind the building there are some smoke signifying the tradition of burning incense when important people are around. [Dawa Dem 4/9/2009]
