Founded in 1499 by the lama Ngawang Chogyal, this historic Buddhist monastery is famously associated with the monk Drukpa Kunley, often referred to as the Divine Madman. The site serves as a significant place of pilgrimage and spiritual reflection.

Commonly known as The Fertility Temple, the site is a destination for those seeking blessings for children, particularly childless women. Rituals involve the use of phallus symbols, which are believed to provide blessings and ward off evil spirits. These unique traditions and symbols are central to the monastery's identity.

The 15th-century structure remains an active place of worship. It is set amidst a scenic landscape and functions as a center for healing and perspective through its traditional rituals.
