Dress of the Queen of Bhutan 
The current dynasty of hereditary Wangchuck was established in 1907. His Majesty Ugyen Wangchuk became the first hereditary ruler of Bhutan on 17/12/1907. The present king, Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuk is the fifth king of the dynastic succession. The institution of the monarchy has been a milestone in the history of the State.
The kira is the traditional dress worn by women of Bhutan.
The kira consists of a large rectangular ankle-length dress that is worn over a blouse (usually colored). Kira is worn over a silk jacket short, called toego.
The kira that is worn every day is made of cotton or wool, but for special occasions it is usually worn one silk.
It should be remembered that all Bhutanese citizens are required, based on the code for clothing national (Driglam namzha), to wear in public, traditional clothes.
