"The Coronation of the fifth Druk Gyalpo
His Majesty Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck"
An illustrated lecture by Michael Rutland OBE
Honorary Consul of Bhutan to the UK, Chairman of the Bhutan Society
The Coronation of Bhutan's fifth
Druk Gyalpo has been an extraordinary occasion, coming at a critical period in Bhutan's history as it evolves from a Monarchy to a unique democracy. At the heart of the symbolism, traditions and festivities of the Coronation is a King who is far more than symbolic to his people.
This is guaranteed to be a fascinating and insightful talk for everyone with an interest in Bhutan. Questions encouraged!
