Chhundu Lhakhang is one of the many temples dedicated to the protective deity of Haa, Chhundu. It is 5 minute walk from Gayekha. Troublesome Ap Chhundu did not get along with his neighbors. He was banished to Haa by the Zhabdrung after an altercation with Gyenyen, Thimphu’s protector. He also had a quarrel with Jichu Drajye of Paro and the Paro guardian stole all of Haa’s water- and that’s why there is no rice grown in Haa.
