Over the centuries the country has been visited by great saints, mystics, scholars and pilgrims who not only came for their personal elucidation, but blessed the land and its people with an invaluable spiritual and cultural legacy that has shaped every facet of Bhutanese lives. Visitors and guests to the country will be surprised that the culture and the traditional lifestyle is still richly intact and at the degree to which it permeates all strands of modern day secular life. From the traditional woven garments to the prayer flags on high mountain slopes, from the built environment to the natural environment, from the religious mask dances to the folk dances, this cultural heritage is proudly evident and offers a unique cultural setting.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:130%;" >The King of Bhutan measures national wealth as the happiness of the people.</span><br /><br />It is a unique country in that it has integrated Buddhism and secular government into a democratic theocracy. It is a country with deep traditions, with modern Bhutan having its roots in the 17th century.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5677191446866274776-7189098707523992892?l=bhutan-democracy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Real Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06018488906278051514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677191446866274776.post-78467297919513445402008-03-23T18:50:00.008-07:002008-03-23T19:02:31.603-07:00Kingdom of Bhutan MapThe Kingdom of Bhutan is a landlocked nation in the Himalaya Mountains, sandwiched between India and Tibet in South Asia.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ikOh_lzXXGs/R-cLgId2fQI/AAAAAAAAAP4/I_sdzCQjeBs/s1600-h/bhutan.gif"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 549px; height: 315px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_ikOh_lzXXGs/R-cLgId2fQI/AAAAAAAAAP4/I_sdzCQjeBs/s400/bhutan.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181122542969453826" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5677191446866274776-7846729791951344540?l=bhutan-democracy.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Real Bloggerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06018488906278051514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677191446866274776.post-18485002528979648722008-03-23T18:50:00.007-07:002008-03-23T19:34:29.435-07:00Bhutan Videos<span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Dragon Kingdom - Bhutan Videos</span></span><br /></span><br /><div id="favicon2" style="border: 1px solid blue; position: relative; background-color: black; width: 120px; height: 90px;"><a href="http://video.google.com/url?docid=-5923904155524876670&esrc=sr2&ev=v&len=1058&q=bhutan&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DrcoQjoZ6toI&vidurl=%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-5923904155524876670%26q%3Dbhutan%26total%3D990%26start%3D0%26num%3D10%26so%3D0%26type%3Dsearch%26plindex%3D1&usg=AL29H23f1ZoQspfGMTGA_3NkWJ-v3BxV0g" onclick="'ssc(-1,"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/rcoQjoZ6toI/2.jpg" alt="" style="border: medium none ; margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; width: 120px; height: 90px;" /><img style="border: 0pt none ; background: rgb(255, 255, 255) none repeat scroll 0% 50%; position: absolute; z-index: 1; width: 16px; height: 16px; top: 68px; left: 8px; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;" title="http://www.youtube.com" src="http://www.youtube.com/favicon.ico" /></a> <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> _fh_insertFavicon("http://" + "www.youtube.com", "favicon2", 16, 16, 68, 8); </script></div> <div class="Title"><a href="http://video.google.com/url?docid=-5923904155524876670&esrc=sr2&ev=v&len=1058&q=bhutan&srcurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DrcoQjoZ6toI&vidurl=%2Fvideoplay%3Fdocid%3D-5923904155524876670%26q%3Dbhutan%26total%3D990%26start%3D0%26num%3D10%26so%3D0%26type%3Dsearch%26plindex%3D1&usg=AL29H23f1ZoQspfGMTGA_3NkWJ-v3BxV0g" onclick="'ssc(-1,">Dragon Kingdom - <b>Bhutan</b></a></div> <div class="Details"> 18 min - Nov 6, 2007 - <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">star(4.826086956521739,23)</script><img src="http://video.google.com/images/starLittle.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" /><img src="http://video.google.com/images/starLittle.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" /><img src="http://video.google.com/images/starLittle.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" /><img src="http://video.google.com/images/starLittle.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" /><img src="http://video.google.com/images/starLittle.gif" alt="" align="absmiddle" /> <span style="color: gray;"> </span></div> <div class="Snippet"> recent years,<b> Bhutan</b> has started reaching beyond the mountains.
