Background History

Khuling lhakhang is a community owned lhakhang. According to the caretaker Sonam (2021), Khuling lhakhang was initially constructed by tshampa Pema Wangchuk in the year 1800. Later, the structure was damaged along with the old statues by the earthquake and it was reconstructed in 2000 through private funding. Currently, the community faces challenges during the rituals as there is no lama, thus have to be invited from Ganglapong lhakhang.
