ABOUT BHUTAN
PEOPLE
Bhutanese people can be generally categorized into three main ethnic groups.
The Tshanglas, Ngalops and the Lhotshampas.
SOCIETY
Bhutanese society is free of class or a caste system. Slavery was abolished by
the Third King Jigme Dorji Wangchuck in the early 1950s through a royal edict.
Though, a few organizations to empower women were established in the past
Bhutanese society has always maintained relative gender equality. In general our
nation is an open and a good-spirited society.
RELIGION
The Bhutanese constitution guarantees freedom of religion and citizens and
visitors are free to practice any form of worship so long as it does not impinge on
the rights of others. Christianity, Hinduism and Islam are also present in the
country.
CULTURE
While Bhutan is one of the smallest countries in the world, its cultural diversity and
richness are profound.
EATING HABITS
Traditional Bhutanese eating habits are simple and, in general, food is eaten with hands.
Family members eat while sitting cross legged on the wooden floor with food first being
served to the head of the household first. A typical Bhutanese meal consists of rice, a
dish of Ema Datshi, the country’s favourite dish of chili and cheese, pork, beef curry or
lentils.
BHUTANESE DRESS
One of the most distinctive features of the Bhutanese is their traditional dress.
Women wear the Kira, a long, ankle-length dress accompanied by a light outer jacket
known as a Tego with an inner layer known as a Wonju.
Men wear the Gho, a knee-length robe somewhat resembling a kimono that is tied at the
waist by a traditional belt known as Kera. The pouch t which forms at the front
traditionally was used for carrying food bowls and a small dagger. Today however it is
more accustomed to carrying small articles such as wallets, mobile phones and Doma.
