now houses the National Museum. This unusual
round building is believed to be in the shape of
a conch shell. The centerpiece of this Museum is
a complex four-sided carving depicting the
history of Buddhism and its propagation. One
side is Sakyamuni and the great teacher Atisha,
representing the Sakya School. On the next lies
Geylup, a disciple of Dalai Lama. Another is
Nyingma lineage, the head is Guru Padmasanva,
and the final is Drukpa Kagyu with the figure of
Vajra Dhara.
Below the museum is the Paro Rimpung Dzong
(literally meaning "Heap of Jewels"), built in
1646 by Shabdrung Ngawang Namgyal, the centre of
civil and religious authority in this valley.
Here you can see finest example of Bhutanese
architecture enroute you visit the near by Kichu Lhakhang
