Dechenphu Lhakhang

  Dechenphug Lhakhang is a fortified monastery located on the western slope of the Thimphu valley.  It was founded in the 12th century by Dampa, a son (or possibly, grandson) of Phajo Drugom Shigpo (1184-1251), who popularized the Drukpa school of Buddhism throughout Bhutan.  The monastery is frequented by pilgrims who wish to enlist the deity's protection when beginning any new endeavor, or more generally, to seek Geynyen's blessing for their newborns.
