National Dress

This is the National dress of Bhutan which was introduced by Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel  it in the 17th century to give Bhutanese a distinct identity. We have to wear the national dress in government offices, schools, and on ceremonial events in order to preserve and promote our cultural history. The gho which is worn by men is a long robe that is hoisted to the knee and tied around the waist with a kera, a woven cloth belt. This produces a big bag above that can hold specific goods, traditionally a bowl and betel nut. The kira is a floor-length rectangular piece of cloth wrapped around the body and worn over a wonju blouse. The kira is secured at the waist with a kera (belt) and is held from the shoulders by broach-like hooks called koma. The outfit is completed by a short, open jacket-like garment known as toego. With the help of this image, we can teach our children about the unique Bhutanese outfit, as well as who is the person behind  introducing it and why. So that our children will be updated with the history behind our unique national attire.
