One of the oldest Lhakhang


This picture I took it when I went to offer butter lamp with my friends. It's just a five-minute drive from town.   Kyichu Lhakhang (also known as Lho Kyerchu and Kyerchu) is one of Bhutan's most magnificent places of worship. Kyichu is said to be one of the oldest lhakhang ever build in Bhutan. It was build in the 7th Century by the great king Songtshen Gampo.  The initial temple is claimed to have been built over night on the left foot of a huge ogress, also known as a demons, who was intercepting the spread of Buddhism as she established over the area. It's said to be one of over 100 temples built to remove her and enable Buddhism to spread far and wide. With the help of this image we can teach our student the history of Bhutan.
