Historical Background:
About 6,000 years ago, King Singhat Chhenpo ruled. He had 3 nephews: the eldest, the second and the youngest were Draya Chenpo, Laha Chenpo, and Semchen Chelpo. The eldest and second were perfect in politics and martial arts and the youngest son was kind, compassionate, and tolerant. The youngest son, Semchen Chhelpo, has a history of cutting off the flesh of his thighs with his five damsels and cutting the flesh of his thighs while he was unconscious. There is also a legend that the prince later became Gautama Buddha and the children of five sisters became disciples, and the name of the main religious site of the municipality was changed to Namobuddha after the prince.
