Background History

The construction year of the lhakhang is unknown but it is believed to be built by Tshangkha community as goenpa. The elders of the village claim that they observe some evidence of burnout leftover from kuthang which proves that the lhakhang was razed by a fire. Orally, it is claimed that lopen from Kengkhar,Tongla renovated the old lhakhang. Around the 1970s, the Zunglen community also renovated lhakhang and changed the timber components. Further in 2010, the lhakhang was renovated with support from the government and later it was handed over to Kathok Situ Rinpoche.
