Introduction to the Bhutan National Monument at night: Locals believe that the turret can wash away previous sins. The National Monument is also a stupa that houses many sacred religious paintings and Tantric Buddha images. This large building with a golden spire does not store the remains of King III, but instead displays a portrait of him for the people to pay their respects. The bells on the monument jingle in the wind, and below, there is a long and winding queue of people devoutly walking around. The National Monument of Bhutan is beautifully decorated with lights at night.
