Geyla is a temple in Wangdi phodrang Dzongkhag (district). The exact date and year of its construction is still not known. It was first built by a person called Nangsay Kinga. Nangsay Kinga was believed to be a manifestation of Buddha. In the forest above the valley there is a cypress tree which was believed to be the walking stick of Nangsay Kinga and it was planted when he arrived on that hill, with his prophecy that if he has the power to protect the valley, the tree may grow, and otherwise it can dry. The tree grew and as prophecized the lama resided in this place called Geyla. After he died a person called Poen Nyim built Geyla temple. Later, the temple was enlarged by Gyelwa Tenzin Drakpa, a son of sheepherder Samten Zangmo. She was said to be the sheepherder of Poen Nyim. One day while she was sleeping in that forest a voice within her shouted "Wake up! a wolf is killing your sheep". In an astonishment when she woke up, her right hand landed on the ground and as she pulled her hand back, the spring water spouted from the ground and today we can still see that holy water. During that time the place was unsafe for the people to travel to another village because there was a demoness causing harm to humans and animals. A young Gyelwa Tenzin Drakpa came and the demoness was subdued and made the protective guardian of that place. Thereafter, the place had become safer to both people and animals. Today, the Geyla temple is maintained and have comfortable residences.
