Lest we forget.

ANZAC Day | Butter Lamp Offering at Wangditshe

On 26 April 2026, the Bhutan Australia Awards Alumni Association will gather at Sangaygang to offer butter lamps in solemn remembrance of the courage and sacrifice of Australian and New Zealand service members.

In Bhutanese tradition, the a butter lamp symbolises the dispelling of darkness and the offering of light to those who have passed. On this ANZAC Day, we carry that light in honour of all who have served and those who continue to serve.

As we make our way to Wangditshe, we will also be plogging picking up litter along the trail as a small but meaningful act of care for the land we are grateful to call home. Honouring the fallen also means preserving the world they fought for.

In remembrance. In gratitude. In peace.

🌺 Lest we forget.
