2.1 Rabsel Types
These two types of Rabsel were used in the medieval architecture of Bhutan and they can be seen on some buildings even today. Usually on such Rabsel, Shoma panels were used as infill between the timber frames.
The difference between the Gyesar-go (photo 2.1.4a) and Boedgo (photo 2.1.4b) are the size of window opening, the Thrangchok and the Horzing.
Nowadays these types of Rabsel are not commonly constructed. However, if someone wishes to incorporate such architectural elements they are permitted, provided they adhere to traditional permissibility (Thopthang).
