The entire live telecast of the three day Thimphu Tshechu through Bhutan Broadcasting Service did not discourage any person from coming for the Tshechu. Hundreds of thousands of people from all works of life came for the final day of Thimphu Tshechu today at the Tendrel Thang. People came in private vehicle, cabs and city bus as far as Wangdue and Punakha to witness the almost 400 year old Tshechu. Even the old and senior citizen as old as 90 years old to as young as a just born babe a few days ago came for the event to receive blessings from Guru Rinpochhe in Tendrel Thang as early as 7AM in the morning.
People waited in ques to get blessings for hours in the heat of the sun for hours as late as 5PM in the evening. The organizers had to keep the people entertaining through musical dances by the well known RAPA dancers for hours even after the Tshechu was ended as thousands of people were still waiting of in the line to get blessing from Guru Rinpochhe.
Many came with lunches packed and had thier family picnic during the Tshechu.
The three day Thimphu Tshechu ended with the perfroming of the Chhoeje Dance after Guru Tshengye Chham.
