DOS & DON’TS WHEN VISITING TEMPLES

Himalayan Buddhism has a generally relaxed approach to religious sites, but you should observe a few important rules if you are invited to enter a lhakhang (temple) or goemba (monastery).

1. It is customary to remove one’s shoes and hat upon entering the important rooms of a temple. You will most likely be escorted by a caretaker monk, and you can follow his example in removing your shoes at the appropriate doorway. Leave cameras, umbrellas and hats outside.

2. Always move in a clockwise direction and do not speak loudly. If there is a ceremony being performed inside, always check that it’s OK before entering.

3. It is customary to leave a small offering of money (Nu 10) on the altar. When you make this offering, the monk accompanying you will pour a small amount of holy water, from a sacred vessel called a bumpa, into your hand. You should make the gesture of drinking a sip of this water and then spread the rest on your head.

4. While male visitors may be permitted to enter the goenkhang (protector chapel), always ask before entering and remember that these are off limits to all women. Do not walk behind an altar set before the goenkhang.

Why it is known as "fortress of the glorious religion?"
It is Known as Tashichho Dzong, or popularly known as Thimphu Dzong, is an impressive structure that houses the Bhutanese government and stand on the right side of the Wangchu River (Thimphu).

HISTORY ABOUT DZONG
There was a long history behind the success of Dzong naming it as Tashichoedzong and it's importance.
The Dzong originated with the building of Dho-Ngon (Blue Stone) Dzong on a hill above Thimphu River where Dechenphodrang stands by Lama Gyalwa Lhanangpa. On the 17th century, the followers of Lama Gyalwa Lhanangpa were completely crushed by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal and the Dho Ngon Dzong fell into the hands of Zhbdrung.Zhabdrung rebuilt the fortress in 1641 and renamed it Tashichho Dzong.

In 1694, the 4th Desi Tenzin Rabgye enlarged the Dzong. The Dzong caught fire in 1698 and was restored. In 1747, the Dzong was enlarged at the initiative of the 13th Desi, Chogyal sherab Wangchuk. The Dzong caught fire again under the reign of the 16th Desi, Sonam Lhendup, and 13th Je Khenpo, Yonten Thaye. After this fire, the Dzong was relocated to the present location.

His Late Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck took the initiative of renovating the Dzong in 1962. The entire Dzong was rebuilt in traditional fashion, without nails or written plans. Zopen Parpa Yodsel oversaw the overall renovation works. In 1969, the earth Bird year, the Dzong was consecrated by Je Khenpo Thri Zur Thinley Lhendup and Dorji lopen Nyizer Trilku.

SIGNIFICANCE OF DZONG

In the past, the National Assembly met within the Dzong. Today, it houses the secretariat, throne room, and offices of King of Bhutan. The northern portion is the summer residence of the Je Khenpo and the Central Monastic Body.

Unlike most other Dzongs, Tashichoedzong dzong has two main entrances. One leads to the administrative section to the south, and another at the north leads to the monastic quarter where the dances of the annual tsechu festival are performed.

Below the dzong is an excellent example of the traditional cantilever bridge. To the south of the dzong is set of low buildings that houses additional administrative offices. West of the dzong is the small tower of Ney Khan Lhakhang, which houses a statue of Sakyamuni flanked by the prospective deity Gyenden Jagpa Melen and Dorji Daktshen, the female guardian deity of Phajoding.

Thimphu Tshechu starts on the 10th day of the 8th lunar month. The three-day religious event plays an important role in the lives of Bhutanese people as it is an opportunity for the Buddhist followers to immerse and cleanse themselves of the bad Karma and to remind them of what to make of their lives.
Staying true to the age-old tradition, locals dressed in their finest outfit and jewelries gather at the Thimphu Tashichoedzong. This spiritual social event brings people together unified by the common culture, tradition, and beliefs. The sacred mask dance (Chham) is believed to invoke deities blessing.

Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas’ eastern edge, is famously recognized for its magnificient monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic landscapes that range from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. In the past, the Dzong served as a stronghold against enemies and it now plays an important role as a combined administrative centre and monastery.
Additionally, I wanted to talk about one of the oldest Bhutanese Dzong called as 'Simtokha Dzong' . Simotokha Dzong also known as Sangak Zabdhon Phodrang "Palace of the Profound Meaning of Secret Mantras" was built in 1629 by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who unified Bhutan. It is the first of its kind built in Bhutan.
The reason behind for naming the Dzong as Simtokha is, the site is said to mark the spot where a demon vanished into a rocky outcrop, hence the name Simtokha, meaning 'from simmo (demoness) and do (stone)'. Moreover, the site was also a essentially strategic location from which to protect the Thimphu valley and the passage east to the Dochu La and eastern Bhutan.
Today it houses one of the premier Dzongkha language learning institutes.
