The Kenchosum Lhakhang/temple is an architectural wonder and one of the most beautiful temples in Bhutan being recently renovated after the disastrous fire from a butter lamp in 2010. Located just below the Tamzhing Lhakhang, the stunning Kenchosum Lhakhang is brightly painted with intricate murals and designs and bigger in size as compared to the traditional temples.

In the 8^th Century, on the advice of Guru Padmasambhava, the Tibetan King Thrisong Duetsen built this temple in the replica of the Samye Monastery of Tibet, the first Buddhist temple built in the world. It is believed that Guru Padmasambhava himself designed and consecrated the temple. Over the years and centuries the temple amassed numerous relics and treasures, most of which were destroyed in the fire of 2010, and the ones that were saved are the prized treasures of the new temple.

Apart from the many relics, the most significant ones are the three statues of the Past, Present and Future Buddhas; and a large broken bell that was offered by a mermaid to Guru Rinpoche. It is believed that when the bell is rung the sound can be heard all the way
