Tenzin Namgyel, the Abbot of Daga Dzong in Dagana District, shares about the festival called Tendra Tshechu. Tendra Tshechu was started after the construction of the dzong in the year 1651. The dzong was built by one of the Donyors of Dagana, and later it was unified by the great Tibetan Saint Zhabdrung Ngawang Namyal. After the unification, Zhabdrung introduced religious practices, including Tendra Tshechu. This Tshechu falls on the 10th day of the 2nd month of the Bhutanese calendar; the 2nd month of the calendar is considered the month of Guru Rinpoche. Varieties of masked dances are performed by monks and dzongkhag dancers during the Tshechu. Tendra Tshechu is called “Turechee” in the locality.
