The annual Paro Festival is one of the most popular events in Bhutan, it is held for 5 days and starts on the 10th day of 2nd Bhutanese lunar month and ends on the 15th day.
The festival is followed by mask dances, cultural programs and locals gather in their best colourful attires and spend time together with friends and families but most importantly it is believed that one can gain merits by attending the festival.
