At first the Manilhakhang was looked after by
Gelong Samdup. It is
made with mud mortar and was later strengthened with stone masonry walls, but
unfortunately, destroyed by an earthquake in
1982. After a couple of years Palden
Lama a monk from Pemayangtse Gonpa as well as a resident of this area, started
building a new structure on its ruins with a mere Rs. 2000/- in hand but the public
of the locality came forward to help him. The building is not fully complete yet
due to fund constrains. However, inner walls are embellished with mural
paintings of different deities. It has kangyur Lhakhang on the top floor where
statues of Cho-Long-Trul-sum and Kangyur & Tangyur texts are housed. A beautiful
Mani wheel can be seen just beside the main gate leading to this Lhakhang. It
presently has 15 Nyamos attending for Mani prayers. It follows
Nyingmapa Sect
and affiliated to
Pemayangtse Gonpa
