Phoego (ཕོད་གོ་) refers to a kind of long silk robe that is worn during the Zhanak or Black Hat dance (one of the most popular sacred cham dances in Bhutan).—The dancers of the Zhanak dance are dressed in long silk robe called phoego (ཕོད་གོ་), which is tied around the hip from within using a special prop so that the robe whirls smoothly and elegantly when the dancers perform whirling movements. The robes are made of different colours of silk brocade and have striped patterns on the main body as well as the sleeves, which have a very broad end.
