The significance of the Druk Phuensum Tshogpa’s election symbol

Symbol:

Three Thrung-Thrungs soaring high into the sky through the pristine environment represent our pledge to honour, serve and to protect our Kings, Country and People while promoting the highest democratic principals and practices.

Significance of the symbol:

The Black Necked Crane is a rare bird exceptionally beautiful, elegant and admired globally. As a celestial bird of purity with amazing strength and endurance it remains humble and pacific.

The Thrung-Thrung represents Druk Phuensom Tshogpa’s commitment to balance material development with enrichment of inner peace and happiness – a basic premise for the promotion of Gross National Happiness.

Marvelled for their virtue of fidelity, the cranes represent our unwavering loyalty and devotion to the Tsa-wa Sum and they mirror our determination to live in harmony with nature and all sentient beings.

As a true exemplar of the harmonious living, the crane is symbolic of the party’s commitment to the promotion of social inclusion and equity; natural integration and integrity; and furtherance of the vitality of our communities and society.
