The information on the previously existing lhakhang is not known. According to the custodian of the lhakhang the previously existing lhakhang was just a small structure with mani dungkhor inside the lhakhang. The present lhakhang was reconstructed in 1974 by Bhutan’s first Home Minister Lyonpo Tamshing Jagar. He coordinated the reconstruction activity while on-site work was facilitated by Phongmey Drungpa Phub Tshering (who reconstructed Phongmey lhakhang). We can still see Lyonpo Tamshing Jagar’s nagtsang a little further away from the Dodi Pema Yueling Lhakhang, which now functions as the residence of Lyonpo Minjur Dorji (ex-Home Minister).
