The Sacred Temple of Fertility

Chimi Lhakhang, also known as the Temple of Fertility, is one of Bhutan's most unique and culturally significant religious sites. Built in the 15th century by the revered Lama Drukpa Kunley, famously known as the "Divine Madman," this temple holds deep spiritual meaning for Bhutanese people and visitors from around the world.

Located in the beautiful Punakha district, the temple sits atop a small hill overlooking the lush rice fields of Sopsokha village. The journey to the temple itself is a spiritual experience, involving a pleasant 20-minute walk through traditional farmlands and across rustic wooden bridges.

The temple is renowned for blessing childless couples with fertility, and many visitors come here seeking blessings for conception and safe childbirth. The cultural significance extends beyond fertility, representing Drukpa Kunley's unconventional teachings and his role in Bhutanese Buddhism.
