Drugpa Kunley's Temple

Prayer flags at dusk on the grounds of the temple.

This temple, known as Chimi Lakhang, was built by and dedicated to Drugpa Kunley, the
"patron saint" of Bhutan. After making offerings inside the temple you are blessed with
a wooden phallus (a first for me), representing Drugpa Kunley's "lightning bolt of wisdom"
and his metal bow and arrow. The temple also holds a rock in the perfect shape of a penis.
