More on the Paro festival

The festival at Paro was a wonderful experience. The festival was outside the administrative HQ and monastery for the dzongkhag, so some of the monks were watching from inside the building.
The festival was several days long, and consisted of dancing and singing in the main square (see photos in the post below for the view from up the hill). Thousands of people attended (we just went for one day). You can see the beautiful kiras of the women in the front of this photo:
