Chakar Lhakhang

Tertoen Doji Lingpa built Decenphodrang temple over the ruins of the ancient Chakar Lhakhang, what was once colossal nine-storied castle built with many layers of metal. While no remains of the original castle built by the king of Chakhar, or Sindhu Raja, are evident today, echoes of its old ties to the Chakar Gyalpo (king) linger in the fact that the sacred Termas Spiritual treasures in the Dechenphodrang temple was dedicated to Trashi Khuendron, his daughter, who is also revered as one of the Guru Rinpoche’s mystical consorts.
