Chimi Lhakhang
Chimi Lhakhang, frequently referred to as Fertility Temple, is a revered Buddhist monastery located in the Punakha District of the kingdom of Bhutan. The setting, upon being perched on a hillrock can be only accessed through a short walk through a village and paddy fields.
Fascinatingly, it is highly believed that the couples who do not have children visit this shrine to receive blessings to conceive a baby. The distinctive architecture suggests a Bhutanese style, adorned with a golden spire and fluttering prayer flags. The monastery abodes many colorful paintings and statues that illustrate Buddhist principles and teachings.
The serenity sprawled around the monastery makes it idyllic for meditation and reflection, coupled with panoramas of the Punakha Valley and the vicinity that encapsulates rice fields, illustrating a picturesque landscape that Bhutan is celebrated for.
