Overview
This 12th century temple perched on a hilltop above Thimphu valley constantly buzzes with pilgrim activity. Tibetan lama Phajo Drukgom Shigpo established it. The protective deity of the Lhakhang – Tamdrin, is supposed to bless newborns, hence parents from near and far come here to bless their children and get auspicious names for them.
Only a few minutes of walk up from the road, the monastery offers a magnificent view of the city below. The main chamber of the monastery houses the graven image of Avalokiteshvara, the Buddha of Compassion.
