The Tiger stands for confidence, dignity, discipline and modesty. The animal is relaxed yet can get furious when the situation demands. The animal stands for vigour. Guru Rinpoche brought Buddhism to Bhutan hundreds of years ago, riding on the back of a flying tigress. Thus, this powerful animal remains a symbol of great reverence.
The Snow-lion (Sengge) stands for vitality, dignity and purity. Its body and mind represents the vibrant energy of goodness and a natural sense of delight.
Garuda stands for fearlessness and power. The mythical bird is believed to be the king of the birds. The painting is believed to avert the illness and many of the evil spells cast by the Nagas or the local deities.
Dragon symbolizes elegance, generosity, calmness and achievements. When the Druk roars in the sky it is believed to open our eyes and awaken to all the delusions of the world. The Druk is indestructible and energetic, and holds in its hands precious gems that stand for wealth, prosperity, and perfection. The Dragon in its entire splendor also represents the country – Druk Yul – the Land of the Thunder Dragon.
