Every year, Bhutanese make offerings on the first day of the twelfth month to mark the first day of the Bhutanese New Year or “Little Losar”. It is also the occasion for Bhutanese to show their appreciation for Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the unifier of Bhutan as a nation-state.
One of 43 landlocked countries in the world, Bhutan is about half the size of the state of Indiana. The word “Bhutan” translates to “Land of the Thunder Dragon.” It earned the nickname because of the fierce storms that often roll in from the Himalayas.
