Bhutanese Festival Dress
These Bhutanese women are adorned in ornate, handwoven wrap dresses covered by colorful brocade stoles. National laws designed to preserve Bhutanese culture dictate that traditional dress be worn at all times throughout the country. The most elaborate garments are displayed during festivals such as this one in Punākha, a town in west central Bhutan.
