Festivals: There are no thangka walls in Bhutan

Thangka Painting Gallery – Bhutan
"Rituals being performed during the unfurling of Thangka in Bhutan". During the Tsechu festival Bhutanese people offer obeisance in front of the Thongdrel seeking blessings. A Thongdrel (alt. throngdrel) is a large tapestry unveiled during tsechus (religious festivals) in Bhutan.

Hello, Arvenarius. I would hate to think that your arrival in this talk page is connected to my reverting your recent edit in the Corrective maintenance page. So I will pretend that it is purely coincidental.

This page is about the four free-standing buildings called "thangka walls" or "thangka towers" in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. These edifices were constructed specifically for displaying giant thangkas in four monasteries and are not to be confused with the façades of other monastic buildings used for similar displays but whose original purpose is different. Please have a look at the "Exposition du grand thangka du Bouddha" page in the French Wikipedia for an explanation of the different types of supports for monumental thangkas ("mur à thangka" = thangka wall, "plan incliné" = incline or ramp, "façade du bâtiment principal" = façade of main monastic building). --Elnon (talk) 07:37, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No personal remarks on article's discussion.
The article's title and introduction does not exclude usual thangka walls. Renaming to "thangka towers" ?
