One of the biggest and most awaited Tshechu in Bhutan. The festival is held in the capital city, Thimphu for three days beginning on the 10th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar. Thimphu Tshechu was established by the 4th Desi GyalseTenzin Rabgye (1638-1696) in 1970 on the 8th month of Bhutanese calendar to honor the birth of Guru Rinpoche.

The festival is held at Tendrel Thang beside Trashichoedzong witnessed by thousands of people of which travel from neighboring Dzongkhags (districts) to attend the festivities.

It is also a yearly social gathering where the people gather to celebrate, dressed in best clothes. In order that Bhutan can rejoice in continued happiness, many learned lamas established the tradition of these dances. The deities of the Tantric teaching are invoked during these dances. Through their power and blessing, all misfortunes are annihilated, and peace and happiness reign.
