Ta Rimochen
Tag Rimochen
Ta Rimochen, also called Tang Rimochen, is a temple located near the village of Misethang, close to the Tangchu River. According to legend, Padmasambhava meditated on a giant rock, and alongside his two consorts, Mandarava and Yeshe Tsogyal, left footprints here. The name of the temple is associated with tiger stripes, which can be seen on the rock.
The temple itself was founded by Pema Lingpa in the 14th century, right under the cliff.
