Khamsum Yueling Monastery
The temple was built by the Queen Mother to promote world peace and for the sound health and long life of the King.
It is elaborately built and contains some of the finest spiritual artworks painted on the inner walls. The temple exhibits paintings of Buddhist teachers and tutelary deities of Bhutan. It took 10 years to complete the temple and is a fine specimen of Bhutanese architecture. It was consecrated in 1999.
