| The name Semtokha literally means ââ¬ÅAtop a Demonââ¬Â and the legend associated with the dzongââ¬â¢s construction tells us that it was built in order to subdue an evil spirit that was harassing travelers in the region. The dzong was modeled after the Gyal Gyad Tshel Institute of Ralung Tibet and is quite distinctive as its Utse or central tower has 12 sides. |
