His Majesty granted Dasain Tika to representatives of the Hindu community of Gelephu at the Shivalaya Mandir in Gelephu, yesterday. 

Dasain Tika granted by elders and parents convey special blessings and protection. Dasain marks the victory of the Dharma King Rama, who was an emanation of Vishnu, over the demon Ravana- a victory of good over evil. Dasain tika from His Majesty carries special significance as His Majesty is regarded as an emanation of Vishnu for those celebrating Dasain. 

While in Gelephu, His Majesty granted audiences to the 46th batch de-suups training at training centres in Pelrithang and Jigmeling, and visited the Gyalsung training site being developed in Tareythang. 

His Majesty also visited the De-Suung Skilling Program for Culinary Arts ongoing in Sershong. The de-suups who began their training in August this year, received the opportunity to serve His Majesty during the visit. 

His Majesty concluded the day with an audience to the Gelephu Covid-19 Task Force. 

His Majesty was accompanied by the Minister for Economic Affairs.
