After him, during the lifetime of the Dharmaraja Tsewang Namgial, 31st, in the line of the royal dynasty.

Since the roof and walls of the monastery are all made of rock, it was given that name Takthok (rock-roof), There is a custom of holding sacred dances & the ceremony of hurling a votive offering during the festival of an initiatory ritual on the 9th & 10th days of the 6th Tibetan month.
