- The Thongdrol (a large applique tanghka) was unveiled between 7:00 and 9:00 am. There were dances between the monks, saying prayers, and the Thongdrol, representing Guru Rinpoche, after which the monks retired and the public were allowed to gain blessings from the Thongdrol before it was again rolled up and stored for another year. The word tongdröl means liberation by sight implying that the simple act of viewing the gigantic appliqued tapestry that is the Thongdrol brings about the liberation of the individual spectator from the karmic rounds.
- Nyimalung Trenda is held for three days on the 8th to the 10th day of the 5th Bhutanese month. The final blessing day coincides with the anniversary of the Birth of Guru Rinpoche. A Chamjug or rehearsal day is held on the 7th day of the Lunar month.
