Bhim wearing his kabney.  An addition to the national dress required when visiting a dzong, a major temple or in the presence of a high ranking official.

Male commoners wear a white shawl  from left shoulder to opposite hip.  It is intricately tied and although we were shown how to do it several times it remained a mystery.

Elected officials, government ministers, cabinet members, and as previously mentioned the King himself each wear their own colored kabney.

Women wear a rachu, a narrow embroidered scarf draped over their left shoulder to visit Dzongs etc

Wangdi was built in the seventeenth century as were most of the others we saw.  It  hasn't suffered major destruction since a fire in 1837 and an earthquake in 1897.  It therefore seemed older and I liked it very much.
