Khadhar (A Ceremonial Scarf) Session

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.
