Architecture
The diversity of Bhutan's rich and unique architectural heritage and life today will be presented through examples of the design of Bhutanese chortens, stone walls, temples, monasteries, dzongs, and rural farmhouses. While impossible to reproduce the grandeur of the fortress-like dzongs or mystical settings of the many temples and monasteries found throughout Bhutan, examples of the unique elements of Bhutanese architecture will be recreated on the National Mall for visitors to experience first-hand.
One project scheduled for the Festival is the construction of a traditional Bhutanese Buddhist Lhakhang (temple) at the Festival site on the National Mall.
