Young Buddhist monk entering a Dzong (Bhutan).

Dzongs and monasteries are an integral part of Bhutan’s cultural and administrative landscape.
They are foundational to Bhutanese culture, serving as both spiritual sanctuaries and administrative hubs.
These architectural marvels, characterized by their robust structures and intricate designs, symbolize the seamless integration of religious practices and governmental functions unique to Bhutan.
These fortress-like structures are not solely places of worship. Some house monastic communities and safeguard sacred relics, some serve as administrative hubs, hosting official meetings and dispensing justice, whilst others have become museums housing important cultural and artistic collections.
