The Holy Rock, Chungthang

The 'Holy Rock' is an interesting place to visit at Chungthang. The rock is considered sacred and revered by devotees for it is believed that Guru Padmasambhava rested and left his footprint on this rock. And to support this belief, the rock does bear the foot imprints.

Also, there is a small opening in the rock through which water keeps flowing continuously. What's more, present around this rock is a small patch of land on which paddy is cultivated. And it is believed that growing paddy in the place is a miracle for the land is in no way supportive of paddy cultivation. This too is believed to be a blessing by Guru Padmasambhava, who is said to have sprinkled a handful of paddy on the spot and the land has supported cultivation of the grain ever since.
