LHAKHANG NAGPO

Year Built:0000

Lhakhang Nagpo is located 15 mins further away from Lhakhang Karpo in Dumchoe village. It takes 15 mins by walk and few minutes by car. Inside the temple, there is also a small lake. Lhakhang Nagpo serves as the seat for guardian deity Da Do Chen. Although the name of the temple means black temple, in reality, the walls are grey in colour. Therefore before you become age assuming Lhakhang Nagpo to be black in colour please visit the chapel and see it for yourself.

The inner shrine has an ancient statue of Jowo Sakyamuni wearing a lovely crown and jewels. The outer chapel houses a shrine to red-faced protector Drakdu Tsen beside a trapdoor that leads to the underground pool of a tshomen (mermaid spirit). In the grounds outside look for the clay representations of the valley’s three sacred mountains.
