Also, here's the interesting story behind the Fertility temple :

The history of Chimi Lhakhang temple dates back to the times when Drukpa Kunley, who was one of the monks who brought Buddhism into Bhutan from Tibet visited this place. He was a well-known figure who was famous for his unusual methods of teachings and his crazy ways of singing songs which displayed absurd humor and sexual connotations. Due to this, he was eventually tagged as the Divine Madman.

The story of Chimi Lhakhang states that Drukpa Kunley landed in Punakha with the aim of driving away a demon from Dochula. The Divine Madman created a “Flaming Thunderbolt Of Wisdom” and struck down the demon who had taken the form of a dog.

The Divine Madman then went on to capture the dead demon in the form of a dog in a stupa and he uttered: “Chi Mi” which means “No Dog”. These symbols of Phallus are said to bring luck and prosperity which wards off evil and hence it is carved and painted on almost every building and structure in this village.
