Mask

Bhutanese masks are vibrant and essential elements of the country’s traditional festivals and rituals, embodying both artistic skill and spiritual significance. Crafted from materials like wood and papier-mâché, these masks are intricately painted and adorned to represent various deities, spirits, and mythical creatures, each symbolizing specific aspects of Bhutanese Buddhist beliefs. During the annual *Tshechu* festivals, dancers wear these masks in elaborate performances that narrate ancient legends, moral tales, and religious teachings, intended to invoke blessings and drive away evil spirits. The masks' bold colors and detailed designs not only capture the essence of Bhutanese cultural heritage but also serve as a powerful medium for ritualistic expression and communal celebration.
