Overview
It is said that Shabdrung ordered the architect zowe Palep, to sleep in front of the statue, while Palep was sleeping; the Shabdfrung took him in his dreams to Zangtopelri and showed him the palace of Guru Rimpoche. From this vision, the architect conceived the design for the new Dzong, which in keeping with the traditional, was never committed to paper.
