It is believed that the temple was built in 659 by the Tibetan King Songtsen Gampo to pin down the left foot of a giant ogress who was stopping the spread of Buddhism in Tibet. The sight of elderly pilgrims constantly shuffling around the temple and spinning the prayer wheels makes this location one of the most enthralling places in Paro valley.
