Driglam Namzha is the Bhutanese code of etiquette. “ Driglam means the way of maintaining order, while Namzha refers to a concept or system. Therefore, Driglam Namzha is a system of orderly and cultured behavior, and by extension, the standards and rules that constitute it. It also regulates several cultural assets such as art, the way we speak, and also our internal mind too. Driglam can be categorized into three disciplines: Physical, verbal, and mental/ inner mind. We have a distinct culture and strong religious belief about etiquette and behavior that go along with us when we address our seniors, people with higher social status or people of the same age and same status.
