Ancient temple | Punakha Dzong full of romantic legendary colors

Ancient temple 🙏 Punakha Dzong | Check in... 🌟Highlight features: This ancient temple, built in 1636, was the former capital. Here is full of romantic legends, where the grand wedding of the king was held. Here is beautiful and peaceful, with a big bodhi tree in the courtyard, ancient and towering, groups of little monks passing by, and the heart is as calm as a mirror in an instant. ❤️Recommendation reason: Rivers that gather melted water from the glaciers of the Himalayas flow past Punakha Dzong. This tall building is hidden in the lush forest. The Purna Kumbha architectural complex displays exquisite art and classical elegance, with spectacular views visible from both the outside and inside. According to legend, the builder of Pura Ulun Danu Bratan Temple summoned the most renowned craftsmen of the time and ordered them to create a replica of heaven. While the craftsmen were pondering over the task, the builder took them to heaven to sketch the blueprint. Thus, Pura Ulun Danu Bratan became a depiction of heaven on earth, with no nails used in between any two pieces of wood. 🎈Best travel time: At the end of April, the purple wisteria flowers around the temple are in full bloom, surrounded by rivers, and paired with the white walls and red roofs of the ancestral castle, making it impeccable. Recommended play time: 2-3 hours 🎫Attraction ticket: 300 rupees 🕙Opening hours: 8:00-17:00
