His Majesty yesterday, graced the Kuchoe held annually at Trakhar Nagtshang in Chumey, Bumthang, and granted Tokha to the gathering who had congregated from neighbouring valleys for the special event.

His Majesty also granted a Thongdrol of Thuksey Dawa Gyaltshen to the Nagtshang for the community. Thuksey Dawa Gyaltshen, who is one of Terton Pema Lingpa’s sons, established the Nagtshang and the Trakhar Zhelgno lineage.
