Jambay Lhakhang is one of the oldest temples in Bhutan, built in 659 AD by Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo in one day to pin down the left knee of a giant ogress whose body lay across the Himalayas. The inner shrine of the temple houses an exquisite statue of Jowo Jampa, the Buddha of the Future, also known as Maitreya. The most popular festival in Bhutan, Jampa Lhakhang Drup is held here at this temple.
