The Bhutanese Leading the way.
Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen and His Royal Highness Gyalsey Ugyen Wangchuck graced the Consecration ceremony of Jangchub Chorten in Chelela on 28 August 2024.
The Chorten was built under the Royal Command of His Majesty The King, as a Dharma initiative to commemorate the birth of His Royal Highness Gyalsey Ugyen Wangchuck.
Jangchub Chorten is located at one of the highest points in Bhutan, and offers panoramic views of numerous sacred sites spread across the Kingdom.
