Local people waiting to touch the Thanka
A symbolic touch of the Thanka is an holy celebration in Lama Buddhism.
The civic male visitors wear a white/beige scarf with fringes around the left shoulder, that it covers the heart.
A red scarf without fringes is worn by a Dasho. This title means 'the best'. It is not hereditary but is conferred by the King on people of his choice as a reward for service.
A dark blue scarf shows that a person is a Representative of the People, elected by the Royal Advisory Council. An orange scarf without fringes is worn by Vice-Ministers; Ministers wear the same scarf, but with part of it folded on the left shoulder.
The temple and monastery servants wear a plait scarf.
Only the King and the highest dignitary wear a golden or saffron/yellow scarf, as does the Je Khenpo, the Head Abbot of the country.
