Dancing women in their traditional Kira costumes

The kira is the national dress for women in Bhutan. It is an ankle-length dress known as the kira which is clipped at the shoulder and tied at the waist. An accompaniment to the kira is a long-sleeved blouse which is worn underneath. Social status and class is determined by the texture, bright colours, and decorations embellishing the garments.
This women stand in line to start a Bhutanese dancing perforance.
