It was Founded in 1850 by Lama Sherabgyatso, one of the yellow – sect Gelupas. It holds a 15 ft tall image of Maitreya Buddha, which was constructed under the personal supervision of Trome Ghishay Rimpoche, an eminent Lama of Chumbi. The construction work proceeded almost day and night until the image was completed in the course of a single month. The interior design of the monastery is made with fresco paintings which represent sacred commandments of the Buddha.
