It is one of the most important stupa of Sikkim.This place has a very interesting history...
Once this place was said to have been haunted by evil spirits and people who wandered around this place became victim of their cruel wrath.Later, in course of time ,a celebrated Lama from Tibet "TRAHLING RINPOCHE" came to this place for hermitage.He built this stupa as per prediction made by his holiness Duedjom Rinpoche in 1946 in order to subdue the spirits.After his demise Rinpoche Dodrubchen came to this place and established his main Dharma preaching center in precinct of this stupa
The Deity enshrined atop this stupa is Dorjee Phurpa or Vajra Kilaya.Two Lakhangs also exist to the south of this stupa 1.seat of Dodrubchen Rinpoche2.guru lakhang...prayer hall of Sikkim institute of higher Nyingma studies.
