In
the presence of His Majesty the King and their Majesties the Queens, the
Kudung left Gayum Kudroe's retreat residence in Dechenchholing for Tashichhodzong where it was received by His Holiness the Je Khenpo, the four lopons and
senior officials. The Je Khenpo has offered a prayer and the Godhar to
the Tashichhodzong. The Godhar symbolises the last good wishes for the
people and country from Gayum Kudroe. In Dochula cabinet ministers, councilors,
dzongkhag officials, and well wishers received the Kudung and have offered
lunch. The Kudung stopped in Wangduephodrang.
