The lhakhang was initially constructed by the 15th reincarnation of Karmapa Khachhab Dorji in the 19th century. It was maintained and managed by the community of Ganglapong for over a decade. The conditions of the lhakhang suffered damage due to age and it further deteriorated because of the earthquake that hit in 2009 and 2011. With time and challenging geographical terrain, there were limited religious practitioners thus, the rituals for both living and death were shrinking fast in the village. Thus, the village welfare association known as Ganglapong Phayul Phendey Tshogpa requested H.H. Kathok Situ Rinpoche Jamgoen Chhoki Dorji to look into the matter of challenges of diminishing practitioners. Upon the request, Rinpoche appointed a lama to help the communities. The reconstruction work of the lhakhang was initiated in 2013. Now, the new structure has been completed and a small religious unit was opened fulfilling the wishes of the community. Drasha (dorms for monks) has been constructed to accommodate monks to address the shortage of practitioners in the future.
