A Bhutanese woman dressed in traditional kira attire is carefully spreading spices under the sun against a backdrop of a traditional Bhutanese wall, adorned with intricate paintings and bright geometric patterns. The setting reflects the vibrant culture and resourcefulness of Bhutanese life. Bhutan, a picturesque kingdom perched atop the Himalayan hills, experiences harsh winters, compelling its people to dry and store vegetables and spices during the warmer months. This practice ensures sustenance during the extreme cold, when venturing outside becomes difficult. The scene captures a harmonious blend of tradition, resilience, and natural beauty.
