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.
