Shivalaya Mandir is being rebuilt upon the Command of His Majesty The King as a gift from His Majesty to the people of Samtse to commemorate the Royal Wedding.
The mandir, which has been constructed out of intricately carved sandstone, and features marble statues of Lord Shiva and other deities, was built around a sacred site where a small mandir previously stood. It was completed in the year 2015, coinciding with the 60th Birth Anniversary of His Majesty the Fourth Druk Gyalpo (11 November 2015).
