Bhutan
Bhutan is a religious heartland with lovely temples, monasteries and forested hills. Every nook and corner is an object of beauty.
As one travels through Bhutan, colours become very prominent. The festivals display colourful textiles. Art and architecture are done in a variety of colours. The fauna and flora are visual feasts. The landscape itself is a paradise of colours. On a larger side, the significance of colours in Bhutan are categorised under three important divisions of the Bhutanese society – Cosmology, Astrology and Buddhist teachings. The charming mountain kingdom of Bhutan is the only country in the world to measure – and strive to improve-its citizens’ Gross National Happiness.
