Jambey Lhakhang is said to be one of the 108 monasteries that were miraculously constructed by King Songten Gampo within one night. It is located in the town of Jakar in Bhutan.
According to Bhutanese legend, the 7th century king subdued a giant demoness who was trying to prevent the spread of Buddhism in Bhutan. To defeat her, King Songtsen Gampo erected 108 temples all over his kingdom. The act pins the demon to the earth, preventing her from causing more trouble.
Jambey Lhakhang monastery is said to be placed holding down the left knee of the demoness while Kyichu Lhakang monastery pins down her left foot.
Let me take you to explore and discover Penang through my series of walking tours on YouTube. You may use these videos as your virtual tour guide. At the beginning of each video, I provide the starting point coordinates which you may key into your GPS, Google Maps or Waze, to be navigated to where I start the walk, and use the video as your virtual tour guide.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
