Samdrup Jongkhar Dzongkhag is marking the auspicious Descending Day of Lord Buddha with a dual celebration of religious and cultural significance today. The event, held at the SAMJOG Dratshang, is being presided over by Lam Neten.
Adding a joyous touch to the occasion, Parents' Day is being celebrated with many parents invited to join the festivities. A heartwarming moment witnessed by the audience was the happy sight of sons presenting gifts to their parents and, in turn, receiving blessings from Lam Neten together with their parents.
The event is graced by the presence of agency heads from the Dzongkhag, alongside devotees from nearby gewogs and throm. To commemorate the day, a special Lham Bachog ritual is being conducted at the Dratshang. This sacred ceremony aims to invoke blessings for the world and, in particular, for the wellbeing of the people of Samdrup Jongkhar.
