Jambay Lhakhang is one of the oldest temples in the kingdom. It was founded by Songtsen Gampo, a Tibetan king in the 7th century AD. The king was destined to build 108 temples called Thadhul-Yangdhul (the temples above and beyond the border) in one day to subdue the female demon residing in the Himalayas. The temple is one of only two out of 108 temples built in Bhutan. The second building located in Paro, Kichu lhakhang was also built on the same day.
