Chorten Kora stupa was built by Lama Ngwang Loday in 1740 where demon was subdued and it was designed similar to Nepal’s Boudhanath stupa. The festival call Chorten Kora is different from any other festival in Bhutan as there is no dances yet lots of people gather to rejoice the festival from all over the Eastern Bhutan and from east west part of India and nomads people from far part of Bhutan, These festival is not only famous as festival but also one of the pilgrimage place for eastern Bhutanese and some part of India.
It chorten was built so that pilgrims could visit the temple in Trashiyangtse instead of making a trip to Nepal. Further, a legend states that a young girl from Tawang, believed to have been a Khando (Dakini) agreed to be buried alive inside the Chorten. For this reason a ritual known as Dakpa Kora is organized every year where hundreds of people from Arunachal Pradesh known as the Dakpas make it to Chorten Kora to circumambulate.
Today, it is considered one of the most important historical Buddhist structures in Eastern Bhutan. All the tourist those who visit this place will have an opportunity to visit this stupa and circumambulate as many as you can.
