Overview

Although built in the 6th century, this Lhakhang was renovated in 1995 and so it has a modern look to it. Legend has it that the Lhakhang contained a large bell that when it was rung, the bell could be heard all the way in Lhasa, Tibet. During the 17th century marauding Tibetan Armies tried to steal the bell but because it was really heavy, they dropped the bell and in the process cracked it. It is now on display at the National Museum in Paro.
