Phallus! Penis! Dick! Or whatever…you may call it.

Yup! That’s right folks. Name doesn't have any business with it. And say- it’s everywhere! On the walls of a house, hanging from the roof, on top of the door, and the list goes on. I mean… it resides everywhere, for crying out loud.  

Even in the field!

And the fact of a matter is- it has got a hell of a reason to be everywhere too. The reason isn’t very scientific enough to validate their mass presence, but rather it’s more of superstitions.

Those phalluses are there to stand off the bad omens that could befall on us! Yeah, you heard it right fellows. Those wooden made dicks can really save us, from the evil. Well, at least that’s how we are all brought up; believing. 

I guess the tourist, who comes to Bhutan for the first time, must have found all this amusing. And I don’t blame them. I mean, who would paints a life size dicks on your home? But again that what makes us Bhutanese, unique of all the rest.      

Everyday I see new constructions coming up and I picture in my mind, a 60 by 30 size dick, painted on those fresh white walls.  

We are proud of our rich culture and this is one unique yet cynical method we have, to waive off the evil.
