Chimi Lhakhang, also known as the "Fertility Temple," is a Buddhist monastery in Bhutan founded in 1499 by Lama Ngawang Chogyal. It's famous for its connection to Drukpa Kunley, the "Divine Madman," who used unorthodox methods to teach Buddhism. Visitors seeking blessings for fertility often visit the monastery to be hit on the head with a wooden phallus by the presiding Lama. The site is adorned with phallus symbols believed to ward off evil, and legends abound about Lama Kunley's supernatural powers and predictions. Overall, Chimi Lhakhang offers a unique blend of spirituality, tradition, and a touch of eccentricity in a picturesque setting in Punakha District.
