example
At the back of the temple, near the Throne of Enlightenment, a group of red-robed Ladhakis were lost in meditation; beside them two 'Bhutanese' in short green dressing gowns stood rooted, eyes closed, heads bent.
Also on display and sale will be 'Bhutanese' handicrafts like prayer bells, traditional woven textiles, stupas and gold plated statues of the Buddha.
the capital of 'Bhutan'
A 'Bhutanese' host greets a guest by bowing slightly, extending his or her hands towards the ground with palms facing the visitor, and moving the hand in a gesture inviting the guest into the house.
Fearful of the backpacking counterculture that was quickly Westernizing Nepal, the 'Bhutanese' originally set an annual quota of just 2,000 visitors.
Like all 'Bhutanese' summits over 6,000 metres, each regarded as the abode of deity, mountaineering is strictly forbidden.
