Buddhism has played a central role in shaping Bhutan's culture, ethics, and society. The country celebrates annual festivals, known as Tsechus and Dromchoes, which are deeply spiritual events held in each district. The Dzongs, originally built as fortresses in the Middle Ages, now serve as centers for both religious and secular activities.

Religious beliefs permeate everyday life in Bhutan. Prayer flags flutter on hillsides, sending prayers for the benefit of all sentient beings. Additionally, many homes fly a small white flag on the roof, signaling that the owner has made offerings to appease the local deity.
