Traditional Day of Offerings aka Chunyip Losar is being observed across Bhutan on the 1st day of the 12th month in the Bhutanese calendar which coincides with the 25th of January this year.
Traditional Day of Offerings is also known as 'buelwa phuewi nyim' in the national language to pay homage to Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, who founded Bhutan in the 17th century. Historically it was on this day that representatives from all the regions of country offered buelwa (offerings) to Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal in Punakha Dzong to express love, devotion and loyalty. The day is celebrated with good feasts and traditional sports (contributed by Gyeltshen).
Also it is a month to thank the existing year for being the best year without any serious obstacles through. It is also the good moment for the peoole to bid goodbye for being a wonderful year and welcome another best year just prior to new year celebration in the country.
Therefore, let us not forget to offer our heartfelt gratitude to our nation builders and long for another wonderful year after Dawa Dangpa Losar.
Happy Chunyip Losar to everyone.
Have big fun.
