फ.लि.न. कहोइबों धीं - PHA.LI.NA. KOHIEBO DHIN,
The concept of the Kohibo design is the idea of Yarjung Krõmchhaiñ Tamu. He tried to reflect the distinctive nature of our identity into the design of the Kohibo. The idea was then further enchanced by Bhovar Palchaiñ who spent many days and nights designing various models which became financially viable, spiritually meaningful and artistically impressive. The most architectually feasible one was finally designed by the Architect Engineer Lekh Bahadur Lehge Tamu. The financial management of the whole Kohibu construction budget was carefully managed by Honorary Major Hum Bahadur Lehge. The Kohibo (Shamans' Monastery)
The Kohibo Shamans (pachyu, Klehpree, Bönpo Lam) Monastery
The architectural design of the Kohibu(Holy Shrine) is based on the Pye Tañ Lhu Tañ. On the top of the building, the crown is the Kleyh also known as Hyõ Kaiñdu, below is the Sargya Kaiñdu which stood as a single cone and the four large cones supporting the Kleh and Sargya, are the Chhyopa Kaiñdus. These eccentric Kaiñdus are highly regarded as they possess supreme abilities for protecting their followers. In the interior of the Kohibo; there are 9 pillars representing the Meku (9 planets), 8 of them are around the sides and one in the middle; each representing the planet of the solar system. The Mewa Parka Pye and Soñku Loñba (mystical voyage of the 9 Planets) are interestingly mentioned in the Pyetañ Lhutañ. 3 Lhos on each side of the room. The total of the 12 Lhos are inscribed on the beam bar. Finally, the Kohibo, the holy shrine of the Tamu mai was completed with the generous assistance from many tamu mai which still stood with high pride as a symbol of the Tamu(Gurung). That has blessed all of us for prosperity and good health. For sure, the imminent threat of the external influences towards the Pyetañ Lhutañ has been diminished to the least but there is still a long way to go to complete this effort. We all should be pleased with the efforts so that our heritage culture can be found and followed. We should whole heartedly and delightfully declare that founder members of the Pyelhu Sangh should be regarded as the Legends of the Gurung which one hardly can contest on their contributions and dedications. It is another undisputed fact that these Legends names are written in the golden ink in the Tamu History.
