A Thongdrel is a large appliqué religious image normally only unveiled during Tsechus, the main religious festivals in Bhutan. They are the largest form of thangka paintings in the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.
Thongdrel literally translates to “liberation by sight” and is believed that one is purged of sins just by having a glimpse of it.
