The Paro Tschechu
Tshechu (Dzongkha: literally
"day ten") are annual
religious Bhutanese festivals
held in each district or
dzongkhag of Bhutan on the
tenth day of a month of the
lunar Tibetan calendar. The
month depends on the place.
Tshechus are religious
festivals of the Drukpa
Lineage of the Kagyu school
of Tibetan Buddhism.
Tshechus are large social
gatherings, which perform
the function of social
bonding among people of
remote and spread-out
villages. Large markets also
congregate at the fair
locations, leading to brisk
commerce.
