Bumthang valley in Bhutan is often called the cultural and religious center of Bhutan. It is considered a very auspicious opportunity and a spiritual exercise to be able to witness the dances as these dances remind the people of their spiritual and moral duties. It is also a time to reaffirm their devotion and commitment to leading morally sound, wholesome and honest lives. The Bhutanese believe that the very act of watching the scared dances helps one to acquire spiritual merit and liberation from worldly woes.
The Jambay Lhakhang Festival is one of the very important festivals in Bhutan. The main highlight of this festival is ‘the scared naked dance known as Ter Cham and Mewang-the fire blessing’.
