Lasting several days the tsechu is an epic pageant of dance and drama. The gods of death, the dance of the stag and the hound, kings and queens, the triumphal entrance of the Guru are all portrayed here in dance. The tsechu is a Bhutanese act of worship of the ideals of Dharma. During most of the year Bhutanese life revolves around planting and harvesting. Held during breaks in the farmer's spring planting and fall harvest, tsechus afford travelers a rare glimpse into Bhutanese traditions.
Most Buddhist monasteries are closed to outsiders except during the tsechu season.
