Thupchen Lakhang-Lo Manthang

Date: 1472, Later Changes
Owner: Choede monastery
Type: Monastery Temple
USe: Worship

Thupchen Lakhang, single storied building with large temple hall and vestibule in front.
The Temple is 37.2 by 24 m and 12 m high. The main hall is large space platform 
which contained the deity statues.
Reconstruction was done after a 17th-century northern wall collapsed and resulted in losing a square space. The style of murals, pillars and guardian statues in the main entrance hall and upper floors of temples served for the monks.
The Thupchen Larkhang restoration was completed in 2005, both the structure and the wall paintings
