Yagang Lhakhang

The Yagang Lhakhang, located in a village on the outskirts of Mongar Bhutan, was built in the 16th century by Sangdag, the youngest son of Pema Lingpa, a famous tertön.[1] This temple is renowned for its collection of religious treasures, masks, musical instruments, armour, ancient weapons, and xylograph blocks used for printing prayer flags and texts. The religious treasures include a statue of Gautama Buddha discovered by Pema Lingpa in Mebartso, Bumthang[2] and a kīla made by Pema Lingpa himself. At this Lhakhang an annual three-day tshechu or ritual and Cham dance festival is held on the 8th, 9th and 10th of the fifth month of the Bhutanese lunar calendar.[3] This festival is one of the oldest held in eastern Bhutan.[4]
