Bhutan is well
known for its unique culture and tradition which have been a practice since our
forefather's time. We believe in inter dependent (Tenching Drel wa) of all
the elements on earth. Even the small things matter a lot in one's life. Out of
many unique cultures in practice, Khadhar ceremony is one important element
in Bhutanese life style.
Khadhar or the scarf ceremony goes everywhere, during
invitation, meetings, marriages, celebrations, promotions or any other
important occasions. A khadhar ceremony
is considered one important element in any occasion. It has been a
practice since our forefathers’ time and still considered one important
ceremony. People offer Khadhar during marriages to a couple with a
prayer that everything in their lives will go well and they lead a happy life.
During promotions, all people, starting from the head till lower subordinates,
a khadhar is offered for wellbeing and happiness
of the one promoted. If the khadhars are received from temples or from some
religious saints, people put it round the neck and consider it as something
that would drive away the evil spirits and bring happiness and wellbeing for
them.
For every occasion,
a khadhar ceremony is included and it is in
general, considered to drive away all the evil spirits and bless with happiness
and wellbeing.
