Kurje Drupchhu is a holy spring water created by Guru Rinpoche in the 8th century near Kurjey Lhakhang in Bumthang Dzongkhag to heal the ailing Sindhu Raja. According to locals, the holy water cures all sorts of diseases.
Kurjey Lhakhang is the first sacred site of Guru Rinpoche in Bhutan, blessed in the 8th century. Kurje is the “impression” left by Guru Rinpoche’s holy body on the rock in the cave of the Diamond Piled Red Rock (Drakmar Dorje Tsekpa) while meditating to subdue Shelging Karpo, who took the life force (sog) of King Sindhu Raja of Bumthang.
