Crowds of dignitaries in formal national dress and local people watch as the giant silk applique thangka, thondrol, is unfurled in the dim early morning light before sunrise on the last day of the Trashigang festival. Crowds gather to see this building sized work of art and to gain merit from the sight. The thangka is rolled up and put away before the sunlight can damage it. Trashigang Dzong, Trashigang, Bhutan, Druk Yul. 20 November 2007
