Explanation

Bhutan is called the 'Land of the Thunderbolt' (Druk Yul in Dzongkha) because of the fierce thunderstorms that occur in its Himalayan valleys. The thunderbolt (dorje) is also a sacred symbol in Vajrayana Buddhism, which is the state religion. This nickname reflects both natural phenomena and spiritual significance.
