the four-sided courtyard of the palace and also on all side walls. The scene is further embellished around the Guru Rinpoche (Padmashambahava) image and also in the palace, with gods and goddesses in the heavens, with gate keepers at the four gates with an army of messengers and servants; all trying to crush the demons to dust. The supporting staff shown are said to represent the Himalayan tribes of pre-Buddhist periods. Visiting Entrance Fee After the revision of visa policy of Bhutan in July 2022, it was decided that an entrance fee of 2,000 Nu will be levied for all adult visitors to Taktshang from September 23, 2022. Under the same revision, there will be special dates on the Bhutanese lunar calendar whereby only Bhutanese will be allowed to visit Taktshang.
