 | | The Bura Maap is awarded from the Golden Throne by the monarchs and it gives a weight to the institution, according to Dasho Karma Ura. |
 | | According to chief justice, Lyonpo Sonam Tobgye, who was the first Bura Maap recipient from His Majesty in 1974, the red scarf symbolises honour, respect in the society, recognition by the government, and added responsibilities on the person who was conferred. |
 | | As one Dasho, who was conferred the Bura Maap last week said, it is also a recognition of the system or the institute he or she represents. |
