Tsakaling Samtenchholing lhakhang is a community owned lhakhang. According to Tshering (2021), it was founded in 1620 by lama Tenzin Dhendup who was the first Tsakaling lama. The lhakhang has been blessed with the good fortune of having a continuous succession of lamas without any interruption until today. The current Tsakaling lama, famously known as Sangay Tenzin is the 12th successive Tsakaling lama. The structure was renovated in the year 1986 by the 10th Tsakaling lama Choney Dorji to make space for rituals.
