Following the historic launch of construction at Gelephu International Airport, King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, Queen Jetsun Pema, and their children—Prince Jigme Namgyel, Prince Jigme Ugyen, and Princess Sonam Yangden—have remained in Gelephu.
While in Gelephu, Their Majesties installed a sachu bumter to consecrate the site of the future Genyen Neykhang in Phulari. The installation of the sachu bumter (a ceremonial vase) signifies the sanctification of a sacred site. Phulari is a Buddhist site located near Gelephu.
Over a thousand Gyalsups and Desuups form the core of the volunteer workforce, working closely with local construction companies to carry out essential earthworks ahead of the main phase of airport construction. The Royal Family also visited the Gyalsung Academy site, currently under construction in Tareythang.
Love the fabric and colours of these garments. Beautiful family that everyone participates in ceremonies. The children will grow up comfortable amongst the people of their country.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely family, so nice to see them all together. The children are so engaged in what is asked of them. The little Pss is the cutest, what nice little dress she wears, everyone in national garb, the Queen always looks fantastic.

This family simply exudes joy. All of them. The children are so cute, and the sweet little princess is beyond adorable.
ReplyDeleteI like the Queens outfit. The more sober colours suggest a working style, but she is so graceful and demure that she makes even that look like a celebratory outfit.

ReplyDeleteIt is heart-warming to see how the next generation is introduced to tasks in an age-appropriate way, and it seems to happen in a relaxed and calm manner. It's a beautiful family, and it's lovely to gain an insight into the country and its rituals.
ReplyDeleteThe little princess is adorable! She is most definitely a ‘daddy’s girl’! They’re a beautiful family.
