The Lhakhang

The cultural exhibit located on the western edge of Centennial Plaza was a gift from the people of the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan to the people of the United States. Bhutanese officials asked that the Lhakhang be erected at UTEP because of the institution’s strong ties to the country. Bhutanese artisans created it for the 2008 Smithsonian Institution Folklife Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The building’s exterior showcases Bhutanese artistry. The interior is lined with intricate murals and figures that help tell the story of the history of Bhutan.
