Built in 2008, the temple houses a residence for the Dalai Lama, Telo Tulku Rinpoche and an office for administrative work. Its main relic is a piece of the skull of the Lama Tsongkapa. The temple was built on the initiative of the lama Thubten Thinley and his brother Gen Yamphel who were sent there by Telo Tulku Rinpoche.
