On the final day of Tsechu the Thongdrel is displayed for a few hours.  Today it was unfulred at 5 am and rolled back up (lowered?) at 9 am.  The sun cannot shine on it because it will fade.  some of the Thongdrels are ancient, I do not know about the Chukha Thngdrel, but it looked very bright and new-ish.  It is a "painting"  or tapestry - more like an appliqué with with some sections painted.  It is huge - I hope the photos convey the size.
