The Unique Gho In Bhutan

I came to Bhutan - the happiest country in the world on cold and windy autumn days. People remember the autumn in Thimphu with colorful images, crimson ivy on the walls of the house, the forest changing leaves or the yellow wild chrysanthemum hills in the new sun. In Bhutan There is also the golden color of rice in the gentle terraced fields on the hills and fields of bright red pepper in the autumn wind. Every morning when dawn rises on the top of the hill, I like to watch the turquoise green Raidak river float gently through Thimphu Street. Sometimes in a few steep slopes, the Raidak River changes itself again with a loud sound of waves

. On small slopes, children in traditional Gho and Kira suits leisurely go to school. I asked Mr. Phuntsho, a local tour guide to cut down some of the attractions in the Thimphu schedule to help me learn the weaving technology of the Bhutanese, who weave the Southern Gho Asia blends in the spiritual colors of Theravada Buddhism.



”The Gho was introduced by the first Lama Ngawang Namgyal to the Ngalops on the way to promote Buddhism from Tibet to Bhutan in the 17th century as Driglam Namzha. The Ngalop ethnic group were the ancient Tibetans who settled in the land of the Thunder Dragon. Seeing the beautiful shirt with many spiritual meanings, the Bhutanese dynasties decided to choose Driglam Namzha as their national dress. Under current government regulations, employees of government agencies or offices must wear Gho shirts when working. In addition, Gho is also worn in other special festivals taking place during the year. Coming to Bhutan, you see a Tibet that is both distant but culturally close! ”Mr. Phuntsho introduced me on the hike to the traditional weaving villages not far from the center of the capital Thimphu There is no distinction between rich and poor in the land of Thunder Dragon, but those with money still love the high quality silk Gho shirts.



A shirt can range from $ 30 to $ 3,000 depending on how many layers of fabric or silk are arranged in a shirt and the pattern is woven on the silk. There are many patterns that are in vogue when weaving silk fabrics for Gho, but the four most commonly used are plaid, vertical stripes, horizontal stripes and diagonal stripes. is woven in five primary colors found from weeds and forest trees in the valleys. The yellow cloth body represents the Buddha's aura to help people go through the suffering and at the same time honors the longevity of the King, the orange stripe represents the clergy, the black stripe represents hell, Red stripes represent supernatural strength and white represents purity of thought. Comes with the traditional Bhutanese Gho dress is a Kabney scarf. Looking at the Kabney scarf that is wrapped diagonally across the body, one can understand his rank in society. The saffron yellow scarf is for the King and the priest at the head of a shrine, orange scarf for ministers or senior government members, red scarf for royal members or staff senior ministries, green for the legal system, blue for members of parliament, white and red stripes for heads of provinces and districts, and white for civilians.

Phuntsho explained more for me. According to Dao Minh / Ihay ***.
