For Haa and Paro, the year of Dog of earth element ends on this Thursday the 6th of December, 2018 and simultaneously the New Year of Hog begins. I guess ( not sure ) the element maybe water. The Bhutanese calendar date is 29th of the 10th month. The New year period of 3 days is 29th and 30th of 10th month and 1st of the 11th month. Happy Lombo to all Families of Haa and Paro.
In all 20 Dzongkhag Dratsangs, venerable Lam Netens lead a week of Prayers to thank all the local and national Deities for the concluding year and to seek blessings and guidance for the coming new year. The Prayers conclude in the forenoon of the 29th day ( this year falls on Thursday the 6th December) with effigies of different Deities led out in a formal procession from the Dzong to an outside designated place for the final fire ritual ceremony.
At Thimphu Tashichhodzong, the annual Lombo Prayers are held at the Dhue- Khang. Those who are aware of the religious ritual, come to offer their nyndhas during Prayer days.
Wishing all readers a very Happy Lombo!
