Description:
by Dawa Tshering
This is the scenerio of Chhukha town. The shot was taken in the morning and it was amusing to see modern faciliated Bhutanese house. The traditional customs and modernization go hand to hand as we can see the people fixed the prayers flags in front of their house. The houses were built with traditrional styles with modern raw materials.
