Unique tradition: A village where people hang Shivalinga instead of lemon-chills in front of their homes, as well as draw pictures on the walls of the temple.

Bhutan Chimi Lakhang Temple: Usually people in India apply lemon and chilli or ignorant outside their homes, houses and shops. It is believed that it keeps away the misfortune and negativity. This may look a bit strange, but is the only place in the world where people hang Shivling outside their homes. Yes, you heard absolutely right. This place is located in our neighboring country Bhutan. Here you can see large designs of gender and wooden symbols outside the walls, temples and shops of the houses.

Breeding Temple of Bhutan
There is a famous temple in Bhutan called Chimi Lakhang, which is dedicated to Lama Drukpa Qunale. It is believed that Lama Drukpa Kunle defeated a demon with his powerful penis. On Instagram, a user named Simran Balraj Jain has talked about the Chimi Lakhang temple during his visit. This temple is also called the breeding temple of Bhutan.

It is believed that women come here to get children. Local people here believe that painting the penis here increases fertility and provides protection from evil spirits or evil eyes.

Gender protects against evil spirits.
It is said that this temple was built in the 14th century by Drukpa Nawang Chogyal. The stupa located inside this temple was built by a yogi. There he is also called ‘divine crazy’. It means a person who is completely absorbed in devotion to God. It is said that Drukpa Kunle was a Buddhist monk. He came to Bhutan from Tibet. He attacked him by making gender -shaped sticks to drive away ghosts in Punakha. Ghosts were turned into dogs. ‘Divya crazy’ brought the dead dog to a stupa. Since then the penis has been given great importance. People started making gender figures in buildings. It is believed that this penis protects the house from souls.

Keep these things in mind:
It is necessary to mention here that the Chimi Lakhang temple is located in Lobaa village of Punakha. You can take a private taxi to go there. To reach this temple, one has to pass through rice fields. Photography is not allowed in the temple. Along with this, it is also not considered appropriate to talk in a loud voice there. You are allowed to enter the temple only after taking off the shoes.
