Bartsham Gewog
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartsham Gewog (Dzongkha: བར་མཚམས་) is a gewog (village block) of Trashigang District, Bhutan.[1][2] The community of Bartsham gewog depends on agriculture farming and the maximum source of income is from vegetable farming.[3]
The Gewog is popular for Bartsham Chador Lhakhang. The Lhakhang is considered sacred as it houses the thumb-size replica of the Chador Statue discovered from Yuetsho Lake of Pemagatshel. Bartsham Lhakhang is said to grant wishes, guard against snake bites, heal leprosy, and bestow women with children.[4]
