Background History

Banjar lhakhang is also known as Dongachokhorling lhakhang after it was named by H.H Jigme Cheda. The elders and the lama do not know who and when lhakhang was built. They assume that the lhakhang has been built by Gyalawa Karmapa as his residence due to existing sacred holy sites such as foot imprints of horses and holy water blessed by Karmapa along the old trail. There are no written texts about the lhakhang.
