These students are waiting to attend the coronation ceremony.
Notice the clothing of the students. They are wearing the national
dress made from their school colors. This dress, made with a
variety of materials, is found in most areas of Bhutan.
Men wear a gho, a long robe hoisted to knee length and held in place
with a woven belt called a kera.
Women wear a floor length dress called a kira made from a cloth
wrapped abound the body and fastened at the shoulder with a decorative
broach. A belt holds the kira in place and the outfit is completed with
a short open jacket called a toego.
