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.
