The Traditional Day of Offering is observed in Bhutan on January 19 every year, marking a holiday of thanksgiving. This day honors Zhabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, a Tibetan Buddhist lama known for unifying Bhutan in the early seventeenth century following his victory in the Battle of Five Lamas. Ngawang Namgyal is celebrated for his intelligence and compassion, having established the dual system of government that combines administrative and spiritual leadership, a practice that continues today. On this holiday, Bhutanese people express their gratitude by engaging in charitable acts, such as giving food to the poor. The day is a public holiday, leading to the closure of government offices and most businesses, and is celebrated with feasting and traditional sports, including degor (digor) and archery.
