| Description |
History of Namgyal Tsemo The Namgyal Tsemo Temple was built by King Dakspa Bumdhe in the 14th century. He was the elder of two sons of King Lhachen Tritsun Dhe. This king is considered as the first king of Ladakh. He ruled over the kingdom of Ladakh from 1400 to 1440. During that time, the Red Temple of Namgyal Tsemo was built. In this temple, for the main idol of worship, there is a statue of Buddha Matreya, three stories high. On its right side, a statue of Avaloketisvara and on its left side is a statue of Manjushri. For the speech resemblance of Buddha, there is a scripture called Zungdu and other religious texts written out of gold and silver. For the mind resemblance of Buddha, there was then a spirit named yellow Teyu who did much harm to the Leh village, later he was buried inside a stupa which has 108 temples inside it. That stupa was named Teyu Tashi Od Tro and it is for the mind resemblance of Buddha. King Dakspa Bumdhe ruled his kingdom according to Dharma for 40 years. After him, his younger brother, Dakspa Bum's son, Rinchen Namgyal who has two sons namely, Lawang Namgyal and Tashi Namgyal. The younger brother Tashi Namgyal made a stratagem and dispatched his brother to Lingshed and he himself stayed at the capital city Leh. From this king, the Namgyal dynasty of Ladakh began. This king stayed often in Chubi and originated the village of Chubi in Leh. During his reign, there was a war from Hor (Mongol) and he succeeded in defeating the Hor force. Later he invited many great Lamas and held many pujas in order to stop any war in the future, the protector deity chapel at Namgyal Tsemo was built. The political and Dharma work of the kingdom was greatly achieved during his time. The origin of the name, Namgyal Tsemo is namgyal means victory because at that time victory from the Hor force was successful and tsemo means at the top, as the temple is situated at the mountain top. Such an account is told by many aged people of Ladakh. History of Namgyal Tsemo. (2018). [temple sign]. Leh, Ladakh, India: Namgyal Tsemo Temple EPB_9593 |
