Samten Pelri lhakhang is a community-owned lhakhang. The lhakhang was first established by Tenpai Gyeltshen who is the 2nd reincarnation of Padtsheling Trulku. As requested by his patrons and devotees, he built numerous lhakhangs across the country. Sengor Samten Pelri lhakhang is one of many lhakhangs he built in the 1940s (exact year not known). According to Pema (2021), it is said that to every household of Sengor, he gave a prosperity vase (yang bum) in recognition of their service as the first patrons of his previous incarnation. The present lhakhang was reconstructed at the same location by the Sengor community in the year 1953. The structure was further extended in 2006. Until 2005, the lhakhang was managed and looked after by the Sengor community but it was handed over to Mongar Rabday in 2006 as requested by the communities took the charge of looking after the lhakhang as there was no one to look after the lhakhang.
