Background History

Tashicholing lhakhang was initially founded and built by Lopen Ngawang and Ani Lhadon in the vicinity of the existing lhakhang. It was later relocated to the present site by the community but the date of reconstruction is not known. Before, all three villages (upper Shongphu, middle Shongphu, and lower Shongphu) used to worship and manage the Tashicholing lhakhang. But, now the other two villages have their own lhakhangs. The caretaker is appointed on a rotation basis among the community for a duration of 1 year.
