Jambay Lhakhang, Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Jakar, Bhutan.
The temple contains ornate wooden structures, ancient murals depicting Buddhist teachings, and rows of prayer flags surrounding the main building complex.
King Songtsen Gampo constructed this monastery in 659 CE as part of a network of 108 temples built across the Himalayan region.
The Jambay Lhakhang Drup festival features traditional performances, religious ceremonies, and the midnight Tercham dance ritual in autumn.
Travelers reach the monastery through road connections from Thimphu or Paro, with guided tours available to explore the temple grounds.
According to regional beliefs, this temple was strategically placed to pin down the left knee of a supernatural entity opposing Buddhism.
