Chimi Lhakhang
Thimphu, Bhutan
Chimi Lhakhang, erected in 1499, is a temple built in honor of Drukpa Kunley, Bhutan's enigmatic 'Divine Madman.' Positioned after a gentle 20-minute walk through lush rice fields, it's distinctive for its vibrant phallic symbols, which denote protection and are a nod to Kunley's unconventional teachings.
