About Punakha Drubchen
During 17th century Bhutan was invaded several times by Tibetan forces seeking a very precious relic, the Ranjung Kharsapani. Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyel led Bhutanese to victory over Tibetans and to commemorate the triumph he introduced Punakha Drubchen. Since then Punakha Drubchen became the annual festival of Punakha Dzongkhag.
