Choden from Trongsa District sings “The Majestic Beam Above” (Yar Lekpe Dingri), a spiritual zhungdra song that is popular primarily in the Gangteng and Trongsa regions. According to oral tradition, the song was composed by an incarnation of Gangteng Trülku, Tendzin Lekpe Döndrup (1645-1726), to facilitate the lifting of a huge and heavy roof beam at the occasion of the construction of Gangteng Temple. Though the song originated in the Gangteng Temple region, it is commonly sung in the Trongsa region, which shares a border with Gangteng.
