Once upon a time in the forest of Varanasi there lived a four friends, they are an Elephant, a Monkey, a Rabbit and a Bird. They are so respect each other and give love to themself. Among four friends the bird is eldest one, as Buddhist point of view we say that early life of Buddha was once he was born as a Bird and other three animals an Elephant,a Monkey and a Rabbit are his three disiciples.
In Bhutan every monasteries, Dzongs and every houses we see these four friends painting all over the Bhutaneses society, they symbolize harmony, interdependence, co-operation and friendship. The "four harmonious friends" one of the most universal and beloved tales in Bhutan. The images of bird, rabbit, and monkey standing on each other's shoulders on the back of a patient elephant portrays social and enivornmental harmony. Paintings of the "four harmonious friends" appear in Bhutanese homes and in official and other public buildings.
