Flamboyance

The Bhutanese people love colors and beautiful weaving. This is especially true come festival time, when dancers (often the local monks) dress up in ornate colorful costumes. The outfits often represent fierce gods, or animals, and the monks dance to folk music played with flutes, drums, symbols and yak-horns. As the dances unfurl before you, the flowing costumes become a swirl of bright colors, enticing you, and drawing you into the story.
