King who sacrificed his youth to build a future for us

Among the many extraordinary acts of greatness that define the reign of His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo, what moves the heart most profoundly is something far more silent, far less seen: the quiet, invisible sacrifice of his own youth. It is a story etched deeply in the soul of the nation, for in giving up his own, he gifted a future to us.
