Yagang Lhakhang, Buddhist monastery in Mongar, Bhutan
The Yagang Lhakhang monastery rises from a meadow on the outskirts of Mongar village, featuring a distinctive square base and traditional architectural elements.
The monastery, constructed in the 16th century by Sangdag, son of Pema Lingpa, holds numerous religious artifacts including masks, ancient weapons, and musical instruments.
The temple hosts a three-day tshechu festival during the fifth month of the Bhutanese lunar calendar, featuring ritual Cham dances and religious ceremonies.
Located in eastern Bhutan, the monastery maintains a collection of xylograph blocks used for printing prayer flags and texts, preserving traditional Buddhist practices.
The temple houses a sacred statue of Gautama Buddha discovered by Pema Lingpa in Mebartso, Bumthang, along with a ceremonial dagger crafted by the tertön.
