The Saang ceremony remains a cultural tradition unique to Ura and the adjacent Shingkhar village. Both are performed almost entirely by local women and most likely existed long before Buddhism had an influence. It is a remarkable festival where women lead the entire ceremony. However, the festival is in decline as most young ladies go to school, college or find jobs outside the village. #bhutan #unesco #intangibleculturalheritage #ichcap #documentary #bhutantravel
