Around Thimpu

Ladies enjoying a visit to the Queen Mothers Chorten.  It is the custom of older  residents to gather here every morning to pray and socialize.

 

Founded by her majesty Queen Ashi Dorji Wangmo,  the delightful Folk Heritage Museum was one of my favourite places  visited whilst in Thimphu  

They have refurbished a traditional three storey rural home to reflect the living standards past and present of a fairly well off Thimphu family 

It was a great pity that here too we were denied the chance to take photographs indoors.  

This picture of the kitchen courtyard was taken from an upper window.

Hummm A rather graphic rendition of The Divine Madman's favourite decorative motif. 

This one is on the lintel over the entrance to the Museum
