On Friday, the Bhutanese king led the Himalayan nation in offering prayers for Dr Singh at a Buddhist monastery in Thimphu.

A thousand butter lamps were lit at the ceremony held in Thimphu's Kuenrey of Tashichhodzong that was led by the king.

As a mark of respect to Dr Singh, Bhutan's national flag was also flown at half-mast across the country and at its embassies, and consulates abroad.
