Gho is mandatory for every man of Bhutan who works in a government office or school. Gho was introduced by Zhanbdrung Ngawang Namgyel to create a distinct identity that has an affinity to their culture. Kira is the national dress of women in Bhutan.
Women in Bhutan wear an apron like dress called Kira. This traditional outfit is a long ankle-length dress. Super comfortable and easy to be dressed in, women prefer to wear this outfit most of the time.
The men in Bhutan adorn themselves in a knee-length, robe-like cloth which is wrapped around their bodies and nicely secured with a belt. Known as ‘Gho’, this outfit forms a pouch-like area in the upper part and is used for storing various things- traditionally betel nuts but now mobile phones! It is highly worn during formal occasions and large gatherings.
