Drukpa Kora is held on the 30th day corresponding to the 15th of March every year. The Chorten Stupa was built by Lama Ngawang Loday in 1740 and dedicated to his late uncle Jungshu Pesan. The stupa is believed to be a replica of the Boudhanath stupa in Nepal. It is believed that a young girl was buried alive inside the chorten and a ritual known as Dakpa Kora is performed based on this belief. Every year many people from Arunachal Pradesh known as Dakpas visit the Chorten to encircle the temple.
