Religion

Religion is deeply interwoven into daily life in Phuentsholing. * **Buddhism:** As the state religion, Vajrayana Buddhism is highly visible through the presence of stupas, prayer flags, and prominent monasteries like Karbandi Goemba. * **Hinduism:** Given its location in southern Bhutan and its diverse local population, Hinduism is also a major religion here. There are several Hindu temples in the vicinity, and festivals like Dashain and Diwali are celebrated with great enthusiasm by the local Lhotshampa (southern Bhutanese) community.
